Oregon's fee law fits in a sentence: a flat rate per notarial act. The whole trick is knowing what an act is.
Fees
$10 per notarial act.
That covers an acknowledgment, an oath, witnessing a signature, or certifying a copy. Protesting a check drawn on an insolvent bank is free.

Counting acts
Each acknowledgment is an act. Each jurat is an act. Each oath is an act. Certifying a copy is an act too — chargeable in Oregon, unlike states that bar copy certification entirely. A document needing one acknowledgment is one act; an appointment with three documents, each needing its own certificate, is three acts, $30. The signature count inside a single act doesn't change the fee the way it would in California or Texas; the act is the unit.
The Oregon fee calculator counts them with you.
Remote swaps the rate
For a remote online notarization, Oregon substitutes a higher per-act rate. Substitutes, meaning it replaces the standard rate for that act rather than adding to it. Three remote acts is $75, not $30 plus anything.
Fees · Remote
A remote notarization is up to $25 per act.
It replaces the $10 rate for acts performed for a remotely located signer, and like every Oregon fee it is a ceiling rather than a set price.

And travel — which Oregon actually legislates
Everywhere else on this site, quoting travel before the appointment is our policy. In Oregon it's the law. The notary has to explain that the travel charge is on top of the notarial fee and is not set by law, you have to agree the amount in advance, and the notary's fee list has to be displayed or handed to you to read before the notarization happens.
Fees · Travel
A travel fee needs your agreement in advance, and the fee list must be shown before the notarization.

Oregon is the only state we publish where that protection is written into statute rather than offered as a courtesy. If a travel number appears on an Oregon bill you never agreed to, that's not just poor service.
