Illinois fees
What Illinois says about notary fees
The National Notary Association's state fee table lists Illinois's maximum fee as $5.
That figure is for the act itself. Whether a travel charge may be added in Illinois is a state question, and we check it with you before assigning any job there.

Illinois details
Before you apply in Illinois
Notary commissions in Illinois are tied to Illinois Secretary of State. 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.
Illinois has counties across the 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
Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Every offer states what the job pays before you commit, including any job in Illinois. Contractors receive 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.
Work is per job, offered as requests arrive inside your travel radius, whether that is near Chicago, Aurora, Springfield or a smaller town. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.
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.
Use the application on this page, with your commission and E&O uploaded (plus the NNA certificate if you want loan signings). When everything is there and the dates check out, approval can be automatic, followed by an email to sign the agreement and add your W-9 before offers arrive by text or email.
FAQ
Illinois notary contractor questions
Can I apply if I am commissioned in Illinois?
Yes. Upload your Illinois commission and E&O when you apply, plus an NNA certificate if you want loan signings.
Is there work in Illinois right now?
That depends on demand, and we do not promise it. New Jersey is our main in-person market, so jobs in Illinois come as clients there ask.
What does it cost to join?
There is no fee to apply or join. The only costs are the ones you already carry as a notary: commission and insurance, plus NNA certification for loan signings.

No office there. We work from one office in Cranford, New Jersey, and contractors work from home or on the road.
