What must a notary ensure when agreeing on service charges?

  1. The charges should be below $5 per act

  2. The charges should comply with federal regulations

  3. The charges must be agreed upon before providing the service

  4. The charges must be documented and filed with the Secretary of State

The correct answer is: The charges must be agreed upon before providing the service

A notary must ensure that all service charges are agreed upon before providing the service. This means that both the notary and the client must have a clear understanding of the cost of the notarial act before the notary proceeds with providing the service. Option A may be incorrect as there may be certain notarial acts that have higher fees and are allowed by state regulations. Option B may also be incorrect as notarial fees are usually regulated by state laws, not federal regulations. Option D may be incorrect as it is not a requirement in all states to file the notarial fees with the Secretary of State.
