New Mexico sets a maximum fee that notaries may charge. Charging more than the statutory maximum is a violation that can result in loss of notary commission.
$5 per act; $5 notary fee + $25 RON technology fee = $30 total for RON.

Most New Mexico notaries are allowed to charge a travel fee on top of the per-act fee. Always confirm the total (notarization + travel) before booking a mobile notary.New Mexico Notary Bond & Commission Term
New Mexico requires notaries to carry a $10,000 surety bond — tied at #11 out of 19 among the 19 states that set a specific bond amount (the typical requirement nationally runs around $7,500). At typical notary-bond premium rates, that works out to roughly $60–$100 to purchase for the full commission term — not an annual cost.
New Mexico's notary commission runs 4 years — the same as the 4-year term most states use.
Bond premium estimates from published notary-bond rate tables (JW Surety Bonds, SuretyBonds.com); actual price depends on the surety provider and, for larger bonds, the applicant's credit.
How New Mexico Compares Nationally
