If you’re considering becoming a notary, one of your first questions is probably:

How much do notaries make?

The answer? It depends.

While basic notarial acts (like acknowledgments or jurats) can pay $5 to $15 per stamp, most full-time notaries aren’t relying on stamps alone—they’re building thriving businesses around adjacent services, upsells, and smart marketing.

Let’s break it all down.

📊 What’s the Average Notary Income?

🧠 Training Makes the Difference

The biggest income gap between notaries comes down to this:

Are you trained in how to market, monetize, and manage your business?

Most notaries:

• Waste time chasing low-fee jobs

• Don’t rank on Google or get repeat clients

• Aren’t leveraging affiliate income or automation

Smart notaries:

• Learn how to build a brand, not just stamp pages

• Use online strategies to bring leads in daily

• Stack service offers to increase revenue per appointment
