If you find yourself needing help with some non-contentious legal matters, you may need to consult a notary public. Although they’re most commonly known for their services notarizing legal documents, notaries can provide a range of services in British Columbia. And, you may be wondering what the prices of those services are. While there isn’t a set standard, this guide will give you an idea of what different notary services might cost.

What Services Does a Notary Provide?

Notary publics are legal representatives appointed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and regulated by the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia. In BC, a notary is able to help with most legal services that don’t require a court representation. The following are some of the most common services notaries provide in BC:

How Much Do These Services Cost?

In BC, there aren’t any regulations concerning what a notary can charge for their services. This means prices can vary depending on the service you’re asking for, who you’re getting services from, and what your specific situation is. In general, the cost of a notary will increase as the task or the situation becomes more complex. For many services, notaries will end up incurring charges while completing your work. However, a notary should be able to inform you of these potential charges in advance.

If all you need from a notary is document notarization, you can expect to pay around $40-$60. However, notary services tend to charge extra for signatures beyond the first, which can range from $10-$20 for each additional signature. And as mentioned, prices rise from here as the services become more complex. For example, the legal costs of selling real estate with a mortgage can range from $600-$750, while the costs of buying real estate with a mortgage can range from $1,000-$1,400.
