Iowa Notary Fees 
There is no set fee. A notary in Iowa may charge a reasonable fee for
their services. However, a notary cannot refuse to perform a service
because a person is not a client/customer nor may the notary's
employer restrict the notary from providing services because a
person is not a client/customer of the employer.
