If an order says print two copies I print two copies. We don’t actually know what the notary fees on a CD cover. Assuming it was all for our trip is just an assumption. We should be quoting enough so we can follow directions.
Agree with @johnsonps306 - we should not be cherry picking what pages the borrowers get and which ones they don’t. They are entitled to a copy of the entire package (minus notary instructions), that’s what you’re being paid to do and that’s what you should be doing. Your fees should be structured to accommodate this.
I delete notary instructions and the five pages of instructions that are behind a W-9. And the instructions on the IRS form. I take out as many pages as I can for the signer copy. But I don’t try to decide what they should get.

No that is not normal. But I always ask for a higher fee when the final package page count is over 175, plus I always check the package for possible redundant documents I can redact from the return package for the executed and/or the borrower’s package (but I always check with SS and/or Title before I redact anything). I have run into lazy lenders occasionally, ore overly micromanaging who ask the Notary to print the appraisal, full title report, inspections (that don’t require signing) when the borrower already has an electronic copy when they executed their CDs…. Its 100% not my job to print and present appraisals…or lengthy inspection reports paid by the borrowers to the appraisers/inspectors or the lender directly. It would also just be ridiculous to return the printed out appraisal to the lender ( they already have it). I also delete redundant notary instructions and forms from the copy package. This consistently knocks down the package by 10+ pages in most cases and sometimes will reduce the copy package by 50-60 pages or more…BUT…again I always check first, and if the Title company wants the whole potatoe printed twice, I ask “kindly and candidly”, for a nominal fee adjustment, and don’t recall anytime I haven’t got my fee bumped up.
She is cheating the signing service by not following instructions.
I usually have that amount for reverse mortgages. That’s like printing 500 copies. Should get 1.00 per page. Or close to it
