An Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) is a temporary nine-digit number issued by the IRS to individuals who are in the process of legally adopting a U.S. citizen or resident child but who cannot get an SSN for that child in time to file their tax return.
How much is it? On average, a notary is going to anywhere from $0 to as much as $10. Public companies, such as FEDEx Kinkos and the UPS Store, usually charge around $5 to $10 to have a single-page document notarized. For example, SFBayNotary.com charges $5 per every notarized signature.
Notaries Public are commissioned (i.e., licensed) by the Secretary of State. An applicant for a notary public commission must submit to the Division of Licensing Services an original application and $60 fee. The application includes an oath of office, which must be sworn and notarized. In addition to the application form and fee, the applicant must have taken and passed the notary public examination. Examinations are regularly scheduled throughout the state.
