What is the protocol for handling fees paid by a public agency for notary services?

  1. The notary keeps the fees as profit

  2. The fees must be reported as income

  3. The fees should be remitted to the public agency

  4. The fees are held in escrow

The correct answer is: The fees should be remitted to the public agency

The other options are incorrect because A is unethical and not in accordance with professional notary practices, B is incorrect because the fees are not considered income for the notary but rather compensation for their services, and D is incorrect because escrow accounts are typically used for holding funds for a specific purpose, not for general fees.
