(Note:
a notary public may elect to charge no fee or an amount that is less than
the maximum amount prescribed by law. The fees charged, or not charged,
should be consistent from customer to customer. The notary public is
required to make an entry in the notary public’s sequential journal even
if no fee is charged. The notary public may simply print “no fee” or “0”.
