Notary fees
Do all notaries charge the same prices?
Notary fees are not the same for all notaries, they differ from one notary to another. For the same act you can pay more at one notary than another. In some cases the differences between notaries’ fees are small, but in many cases they can be quite large.
For example, for a power of attorney, the differences can be only a few tens of lei, but for the sale of a property the differences can exceed thousands of lei. You can find the lowest price at the notaries who charge the legal minimum rate on the notary grid. Some notaries charge a minimum fee on the grid, others do not.
The notarial grid represents the minimum guaranteed tariff, for any notarial service. Notaries are not allowed to charge less than this grid, but they can charge as much as they can. The grid sets only the legal minimum rates, the maximum rates can be as high as the notary considers.
Who chooses the notary
The seller or the buyer?
The choice of the notary’s office where the documents are made, always belongs to the one who pays the fee, ie to the buyer.
The buyer always chooses the notary, because the notary fees are his responsibility.

Can I be forced to go to a more expensive notary?
The buyer has the legal right to choose to pay the minimum rate on the grid and cannot be forced to pay more. The buyer decides at which notary the documents are made because the notary fees are in his charge. According to the legal provisions, the seller or the bank cannot oblige the buyer to which notary to go to.
