How much can an electronic notary public charge for performing electronic notarial acts?

In Illinois, electronic notary publics are permitted to charge fees for performing electronic notarial acts, but the law specifically sets the maximum fee at $25 per electronic notarial act. This ensures that notaries can be compensated fairly for their services, given the potential complexity and technology involved in electronic notarization.

The established fee reflects the costs associated with maintaining the necessary technology, securing electronic signatures, and providing the level of service required for proper electronic notarization.

Other options suggest lower amounts or vague descriptions of fees, but only the $25 amount accurately represents the cap established by Illinois notary law. This clarity in fees helps ensure transparency for consumers who might seek notarial services and discourages undercharging or overcharging by notaries.
