UPS Store locations in California typically charge $15 per signature for notary services, which is the maximum fee allowed under California state law for acknowledgments and jurats. Some documents require multiple notarized signatures, so the total cost depends on the number of signatures rather than the number of pages.
The College Area does not have a dedicated notary subcategory, but pack-and-ship locations and some law firms in the area offer notary services. For a dedicated notary practice, Mark Ignacio Law in La Mesa handles notarizations alongside legal services and carries strong client reviews across east San Diego.
