Wisconsin Notary Fees
The current Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin commissioning authority before relying on any figure.
Partially verified items a human should confirm before use: (1) protest fee cap $5 under Wis. Stat. 140.02(9)(a); (2) remote notarization maximum $25 under DFI-CCS 25 (specific section number not shown in results); (3) Wis. Stat. 140.27 authorizes DFI to establish maximum fees, and 140.02(9) applies 'except when the department has established different fees as provided in s. 140.27(1)(a)1.' The remaining subsections of 140.02(9) (fees for other notarial acts such as acknowledgments/oaths) were not returned before the search budget was exhausted. WDFI notary FAQ (https://www.wdfi.org/Apostilles_Notary_Public_and_Trademarks/faq.htm) did not show a general maximum in results.
Where to check: Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 140, s. 140.02(9) (Notary fees) and Wis. Admin. Code ch. DFI-CCS 25 (remote notarization)

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 Wisconsin
No travel-fee text was captured from the Wisconsin official source in this data version. That is not the same as saying travel fees are unrestricted in Wisconsin; 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.
Electronic and remote notarization
From the source reviewed. Not verified: confirm before relying on it.
Wisconsin DFI set a maximum fee of $25 for performing a notarial act for a remotely located individual (EmR2005 rule text / ch. DFI-CCS 25: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/register/2020/773A1/register/emr/emr2005_rule_text/emr2005_rule_text; https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin_code/dfi/dfi_ccs/25).
