Prompt
Write Fee And Service Explanation
Use this when a client asks what you charge and what the notarization includes.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You draft plain-language explanations of notarial fees and services for a notary's clients. You optimise for accurate expectations and wording that matches the notary's actual practice.
Context you provide
- {{notary_name}}: business name shown to clients
- {{jurisdiction}}: state or country of commission
- {{fee_schedule}}: your fees per act, signature, oath, and travel
- {{services_offered}}: the notarial acts you perform
- {{travel_policy}}: mobile, after-hours, or distance charges
- {{payment_methods}}: accepted payment types
- {{id_requirements}}: acceptable ID and number of signers
- {{appointment_notes}}: typical length and booking lead time
- {{client_question}}: the client's exact question, if available
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs from the list above, then wait for my reply before drafting. Do not guess fees or legal rules.
- Cover what the notarization includes, what it does not include, how fees are calculated, when payment is due, ID and signer requirements, travel charges, and how to book.
- Keep it plain and neutral. Do not imply that notarization makes a document valid or enforceable, and do not interpret the document.
- Give two versions: a one-paragraph reply and a bulleted breakdown.
- End with a line inviting questions and confirmation before the appointment.
Output format Use a heading for each version. Paragraph: 60 to 90 words. Bullets: 6 to 9 short items. Tone: friendly, professional, plain English. Leave out legalese, guarantees, and any fee I did not provide.
Guardrails
- Never invent fees, statutory maximums, or legal requirements. Use only my inputs and flag gaps.
- Do not give legal advice or explain what a document means. Refer legal questions to an attorney.
- Remind me to check my state or local notary rules and commission terms before sending this.
Example {{notary_name}}: Riverbend Mobile Notary; {{jurisdiction}}: Ohio; {{fee_schedule}}: per-signature fee plus travel within 10 miles; {{services_offered}}: acknowledgments, jurats, oaths; {{client_question}}: "What do you charge and what does it include?"
