A mobile notary in Denver typically costs about $60 for one notarized signature: Colorado caps the notarial fee at $15 per document, and mobile notaries add a travel fee, often starting around $45. Each extra notarization adds up to $15, and evening or weekend visits may add a disclosed after-hours fee. Colorado requires all charges to be disclosed before the notarization.
“How much will this cost?” is usually the first question people ask when they need a notary to come to them — and the answers online range from vague to misleading. In Colorado, the answer is more predictable than most people expect, because state law caps what a notary can charge for the notarization itself. This guide breaks down exactly how mobile notary pricing works in Denver, with real examples, so you know what to expect before you book.
It is part of our complete guide to notary services in Denver.
What Colorado Law Allows a Notary to Charge
Colorado separates two kinds of charges: the notarial fee, which the state caps, and charges for other services, such as travel, which the state lets notaries set as long as they are transparent about them.
A notary “must inform the customer of all charges before performing the notarial act.”
- Notarization: up to $15 per document for an in-person notarization.
- Remote notarization: up to $25 per notarial act.
- Travel and other services: allowed, but itemized separately and disclosed in advance.
- Written record: the notary must give you an itemized list of fees, such as a receipt or invoice.
- Loan signing services: real estate signing service fees are not regulated by the Secretary of State.
In practice, this means a mobile notary’s price is mostly about the travel and the time, not the stamp. Any quote that lumps everything into one unexplained number deserves a follow-up question.
How a Mobile Notary Price Adds Up
Every mobile notary appointment in Denver is built from the same three pieces:
- A travel fee for coming to you. At MJ Notary Denver, travel starts at $45 per trip within the metro area and varies by distance.
- The notarization fee — $15 per notarized signature, the maximum Colorado allows.
- Optional add-ons, such as an after-hours or weekend fee ($25 at MJ Notary Denver) or printing.
Real Mobile Notary Price Examples
| Appointment | Breakdown | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Power of attorney, one signer | $45 travel + $15 | $60 |
| Vehicle title, two owners | $45 travel + 2 × $15 | $75 |
| Hospital visit, three documents, evening | $45 travel + 3 × $15 + $25 after hours | $115 |
| Seller’s closing package | $100 package + travel from $45 | From $145 |
| Buyer’s or refinance package | $125 package + travel from $45 | From $170 |
Loan signings are priced as packages because they involve printing a large document set, a longer appointment, and returning the package to the title company. Our loan signing packages page has current pricing, and our loan signing guide explains what’s included.
What Changes the Price
- Number of notarized signatures. Each signer’s notarization is a separate notarial act. Two people signing one deed means two notarizations.
- Distance. Central Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, and Englewood are typically at the base travel fee; farther suburbs may cost more.
- Timing. Evenings, weekends, and short-notice requests often carry an after-hours fee.
- Waiting time. Hospital and multi-party signings sometimes involve waiting for staff or signers; ask how waiting is handled.
- Printing and scanning. If the notary prints a document you emailed, expect a small itemized charge.
- Document type. Loan packages are priced differently from single documents because the work involved is different.

Mobile Notary vs. Other Options in Denver
| Option | Typical cost | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| Your bank or credit union | Often free for customers | Business hours only; many decline wills, titles, or real estate documents |
| Walk-in notary | Up to $15 per notarization | You travel; availability varies by staff on duty |
| Mobile notary | Travel fee + up to $15 each | Comes to you, flexible hours, ideal for hospitals and multiple signers |
| Online notary | Up to $25 per notarial act, plus itemized platform fees | No travel; requires an electronic document and digital ID check |
The cheapest option isn’t always the least expensive one. A free bank notarization that requires taking time off work — or that gets declined at the counter because the bank doesn’t handle your document type — can cost more than a mobile appointment. And for signers in hospitals or care facilities, a mobile notary is often the only practical choice. If you’re comfortable with technology and your document can be electronic, online notarization is another way to skip the travel fee.
How to Keep Your Mobile Notary Cost Down
- Bundle documents. One trip with several notarizations is far cheaper than several trips. Gather everything that needs notarizing first.
- Get every signer together. A second trip for a missing co-signer means a second travel fee.
- Book during business hours when your schedule allows, to avoid after-hours fees.
- Arrive prepared. Valid ID and a complete, unsigned document prevent a wasted visit. Our checklist of what to bring to a notary covers it.
- Print the document yourself if you can.
