§ 47.1-19. Fees.
A. A notary may, for taking and certifying the acknowledgment of any writing,
or administering and certifying an oath, or certifying affidavits and

copy thereof, charge a fee of two dollars $3.
B. For other services a notary shall have the same fees as the clerk of a circuit court for like services.
