Kentucky Notary Fees
The current Kentucky notary fee rule has not been verified against an official source in this data version, so no fee amounts are shown here and the calculator does not fill in a maximum.
Why Kentucky is not yet verified
Either the current rule could not be confirmed from an official state source, or official sources conflict. Rather than publish a number that may be wrong, this reference leaves it blank. Check the rule with the Kentucky commissioning authority before relying on any figure.
KRS 64.300 page exists at https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=45031 (title: 'Exemption from fees of notaries public') but its body text was not returned by any search. Kentucky SOS fee page (https://www.sos.ky.gov/bus/businessrecords/Pages/Fees.aspx) lists only commission fees ($10 application/renewal, $5 per apostille/certificate). Human should read KRS 64.300 to determine whether any cap exists.

Notarial acts vs. service fees
Rule not verified
State fee reference not yet verified
Travel, printing and add-ons are not part of this check. Some states restrict these charges, and listing a fee separately does not by itself make it permitted.
Travel fees in Kentucky
No travel-fee text was captured from the Kentucky official source in this data version. That is not the same as saying travel fees are unrestricted in Kentucky; confirm with the commissioning authority, and agree the fee with the client before you drive.
Travel is a separate charge from the notarial act, so the maximums above do not cover it. Work out a travel charge with the notary travel fee calculator.
