Home / FAQ / Notary Public FAQ / Why does it cost so much to simply “stamp” a copy of the document?
The Notary is not simply stamping the document. They are certifying the copy to be a true copy of the original and frequently will be taken to be verifying that the original document produced is genuine. Therefore, the Notary needs to carry out certain checks and may need to qualify the certificate in some way.
