A Connecticut notary can charge $0.35 per mile traveled in addition to the $5.00 notary fee. This statement is:

• A. Only if the signer approves
• B. Not sure
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Connecticut notary fees include a fixed base charge for each notarization plus any reasonable travel costs if the notary travels to the signer. The statutory base is $5 per notarization, and reimbursement for travel can be charged at a fixed per-mile rate. At the stated rate of $0.35 per mile, in addition to the $5 base fee, this is allowed by the notary fee rules. So the statement is true because the law permits both the base fee and mileage reimbursement for travel. The travel charge is a reimbursement of actual travel costs, not something that requires signer approval, and it reflects the notary’s service when performed away from the notary’s location.
