If you’re a Pennsylvania notary public and your income hasn’t grown in years, it’s not because the market is saturated—it’s because you haven’t unlocked the high-value services sitting right in front of you.
The truth? Basic notarizations are just the beginning. The real money comes from offering premium services that are in demand, command higher fees, and position you as an expert—not just a stamp.
Let’s break down the top five ways to dramatically grow your notary income—without burning out.
1. Apostille Services: The High-Paying Secret Most Notaries Overlook
These internationally recognized certifications are used to authenticate documents for foreign countries—such as overseas adoptions, dual citizenship, immigration, and international business filings.
Why It’s Lucrative:
- $75–$250+ per document (plus the state’s $15 fee)
- Rush jobs? Add a $50–$100 premium
- Law firms, adoption agencies, and immigration clients constantly outsource this
How to Start:
- Learn Pennsylvania’s apostille process
- Position yourself as a “Document Authentication Specialist”
- Partner with immigration attorneys and translation services
2. Loan Signing Agent: Your $200+ Per Appointment Opportunity
Real estate deals—from purchases to refinances—require a certified signing agent. This is one of the most consistent, high-ticket services a notary can offer.
Why It Pays:
- Earn $150–$400 per appointment
- Flexible scheduling (nights/weekends)
- Title companies and lenders need recurring help
How to Break In:
- Get certified with our state-approved Signing Agent Accelerator
- Create a Google Business profile and local directory listings
- Build relationships with realtors, escrow agents, and attorneys

3. Mobile Notary: Turn Travel Time into Profit
Convenience is king—and people are willing to pay for it. As a mobile notary, you charge travel fees on top of your standard notarization services.
Ideal Clients:
- Elderly or disabled individuals
- Busy professionals and executives
- Real estate agents with last-minute closing needs
Pro Tip: Offer evening and weekend services at premium rates. Market yourself as an “After-Hours Notary.”
4. Trusted Notary + Document Courier Service
Go beyond the notarization and offer fast, secure delivery of important legal or financial documents. This is an easy service to add—and it’s in high demand.
How to Monetize:
- Charge $50–$150+ per delivery
- Offer “rush delivery” options for same-day service
- Bundle with notarizations as a premium package
Great for attorneys, CPAs, and estate planners who need dependable document hand-offs.
5. Auto Title & Tag Services: Your Recurring Revenue Engine
In Pennsylvania, authorized notaries can process auto titles, registrations, and license plates. It’s a highly repeatable service with huge upside—and the first step to launching a full-service tag agency.
Why It’s Powerful:
- Year-round demand—every driver needs this
- You set convenience and processing fees
- Perfect for scaling into a retail office
