Utah’s economy has grown rapidly over the past few years, and notaries have become an essential part of the infrastructure supporting legal, real estate, and digital documentation across the state. As of 2025, both new and experienced notaries in Utah are finding opportunities to build meaningful, profitable careers.
But how much can you realistically expect to earn? That depends on your approach. In this post, we’ll walk through what notaries are making in Utah this year, from part-time generalists to full-time specialists, along with actionable tips to help you increase your earnings.
Utah’s strong business environment and population growth are driving demand for notarial services. The state supports traditional in-person notarization and has also adopted Remote Online Notarization (RON), providing notaries with multiple ways to serve clients.
In addition to personal and business document signings, notaries in Utah frequently assist with loan documents, legal certifications, and digital transactions.
Let’s look at the income trends shaping this profession statewide.
Many Utah notaries operate part-time, offering services evenings or weekends or integrating them into their primary job. These notaries often focus on general notarial acts.
Those who travel to clients and build relationships with local offices often supplement their hourly rate with mobile fees.
Notaries who treat their work as a business, with mobile services, online appointments, or loan signing certifications, can earn significantly more.
Full-time notaries typically establish long-term relationships with real estate professionals, attorneys, and financial institutions to secure a reliable income.
Like most states, Utah regulates the maximum fees a notary can charge for basic services. However, there’s plenty of earning flexibility once you add mobile travel, digital convenience, or specialty certifications.
| Service Type | Max Fee (2025) |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgments, Jurats, Oaths | $10 per act |
| Copy Certification | $10 per certified copy |
| Travel (in-person appointments) | Not regulated |
| Remote Online Notarization (RON) | $25 per notarized act |
Because travel and remote services aren’t capped, notaries can structure their rates to reflect the value of on-demand availability, long distances, or last-minute scheduling.
Earnings aren’t the same across the state. Geography plays a significant role, especially when it comes to travel-based fees or volume-based revenue.
Notaries in these areas benefit from:
Loan signing agents and mobile notaries here can easily earn $ 1,000 or more per week with consistent marketing.
Although demand is less dense, rural areas often have fewer notaries available, giving you pricing leverage.
Clients are often willing to pay higher mobile or after-hours fees for convenience, especially for:
Not all notarizations are created equal. If you want to grow your income, consider expanding into areas where Utah notaries are earning more per job.

Utah was one of the early adopters of RON, making it a strong fit for tech-enabled notaries. With RON:
Although not regulated as part of a notary’s direct duties, helping clients prepare documents for international use can yield service fees of $50–$200.
Getting certified is only step one. Here’s how notaries in Utah are actively growing their income in 2025:
Being searchable online is crucial. Most clients need urgent service and search phrases like “notary near me.” Set up your free Google profile and include your service area, mobile options, and hours.
Title companies, lenders, and estate attorneys often rely on a consistent notary. Reach out directly and offer flexible scheduling or RON availability to stand out.
Weekend, holiday, and after-hours appointments are in high demand. Charging a small convenience fee for off-hours is a reliable source of revenue.
The more efficient your booking and invoicing processes, the more appointments you can complete each day. Tools like Calendly or Notary Gadget help keep everything organized.
A full-time notary in Provo who works Monday through Friday might see the following in a typical week:
Total Weekly Earnings = $1,010
Annualized = ~$50,000 (before taxes)
Many notaries exceed this by accepting evening appointments or offering emergency services. The real income potential comes from consistency and diversification.
Notary work in Utah offers more than modest side income. With a strategic approach—combining mobile appointments, online notarizations, and high-value partnerships—you can build a reliable business with strong earnings.
Whether you’re working part-time or building toward full-time entrepreneurship, the tools to succeed are within reach.
