How much does a notary cost in Alaska?
Most "notary cost" pages are run by an online-notarization platform or a notary supplier — each answering with its own product. This one isn't. Here's what it actually costs in Alaska, all your options compared fairly — including the one where your bank does it for free.
The two prices, separated
1 · The notarial fee
State-capped. This is the official act — verifying you, witnessing the signature, applying the stamp. It's the same amount whether you drive to the notary or they drive to you.
2 · The travel / convenience fee
Alaska Statutes Title 44, Chapter 50 contain no travel- or mobile-fee provision, so travel fees are unregulated. However, any charge — including travel — is subject to the same up-front written fee-schedule disclosure required by AS 44.50.062(4) before the notarial act is performed. It only applies when a notary comes to you — a bank or walk-in counter doesn't charge it.

Alaska specifics
Fee schedule: Alaska sets no statutory maximum notary fee — the notary sets the fee; confirm the amount in advance.
Travel fees: Alaska Statutes Title 44, Chapter 50 contain no travel- or mobile-fee provision, so travel fees are unregulated. However, any charge — including travel — is subject to the same up-front written fee-schedule disclosure required by AS 44.50.062(4) before the notarial act is performed.
No statutory fee cap: Alaska law sets no maximum for any notarial act — the notary sets the price (market rates run roughly $5–$15 per signature).
Mandatory fee-schedule disclosure: under AS 44.50.062(4) a notary may not charge any fee unless a written fee schedule was provided to the signer BEFORE the notarial act was performed.
Limited governmental notaries public (state, municipal, or federal employees commissioned for official government business) are prohibited from charging or receiving any fee for notarial services.
RON fees are also uncapped and governed by the same up-front disclosure rule.
Remote online notarization: RON · Live in-state — RON is authorized and operational. HB 124 (signed Apr 30, 2020) permanently authorized commissioned Alaska notaries to notarize electronic documents for remotely located persons under AS 44.50.075, effective Jan 1, 2021, subject to implementing regulations on communication technology and identity proofing adopted by the Lieutenant Governor. No statutory RON fee cap exists — RON fees fall under the same notary-set/disclosure rule as in-person acts. Interstate: an Alaska RON notary may act for signers physically located outside Alaska, and Alaska recognizes notarial acts validly performed under other states' laws.
