How it works
Notary work in Delaware
Jobs in Delaware are in-person mobile notary visits and loan signings, offered to contractors near the address as requests come in. We do not have an office in Delaware. Remote online sessions are handled by our New Jersey notaries, so jobs here are in person. This is general information, not legal advice. The larger cities in Delaware that our pages cover include Wilmington.

Delaware fees
What Delaware says about notary fees
For the notarial act itself, Delaware allows a notary to charge up to $5, per the National Notary Association.
That figure is for the act itself. Whether a travel charge may be added in Delaware is a state question, and we check it with you before assigning any job there.
A note on the state: Wikipedia describes Delaware as a corporate haven: over half of NYSE-listed companies and about 63% of the Fortune 500 are incorporated there.
Figures: NNA, Notary fees by state (updated September 16, 2026). States change fees, so verify yours. This is general information only.
Beyond the home office
Where notary work comes from
- Wilmington (New Castle County): local institutions named in its Wikipedia article include the State of Delaware, ChristianaCare, the University of Delaware and Amazon, with banking, credit card operations, insurance and legal services as key industries.
Read from Wikipedia in October 2026. They describe the places themselves; we claim no clients in them and no earnings.
Delaware details
Before you apply in Delaware
Notary commissions in Delaware are tied to Delaware Division of Corporations. Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse.
Delaware has 3 counties (New Castle, Kent and Sussex), the fewest of any U.S. state. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Pay is per assignment, in dollars. Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Nothing is assigned until you say yes, and we confirm the details with you before any Delaware assignment. This is independent contractor work with a 1099 at year end.
The lowest offers are $35 for a mobile notary visit and $75 for a loan signing; many jobs pay more than that.
Each request near your ZIP, from Wilmington, Dover, Newark to the rest of the state, is offered as it comes in. No volume is promised.
This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows.
The application is right here: fill it in and upload your commission and E&O, and your NNA certificate for loan work. Fully documented applications may be approved automatically, and an email then walks you through the contractor agreement and W-9 so offers can start.
