I will stand to be corrected, and am not suggesting
anything, but is it not TECHNICALLY illegal to
notarize anything outside of the US where their license
is issued?

The American consul here in San Jose can notarized documents
;)
For a fee, of course

The only other place in Baja is the American Consulate in Ensenada, but if you go that far, you might as well cross the border.

I needed a notary while in Mulege last spring for an escrow closing. I was able to get the title company to extend my payoff until I returned to the U.S. without holding up the closing date for the other party. All other documents were signed and accepted by email. In my proposal to the title company, I assured them that I did not require any further interest to be paid.

its illegal to notarize out of the state the the notary has their license

if you did notarize a document
the document would be illegal

That would be TJ, Tony, but you're right. Cross the border and make a shopping trip out of it.

The US consulate in San Jose can do it for $50US per stamp.....no, really, $50US PER STAMP. If you use them be sure to bring dollars, they will take pesos but at a really poor rate. When I did it a couple of years ago they wanted 13 pesos to the dollar when the exchange rate was 11 to 1.

A US of A notary and the one advertising for them in Loreto last year were turned in to IMN for illlegal work in Mexico.

Not legal anywhere but the American Consulate.

Government fees for everything are really going through the roof these days. I've got some paperwork coming up that I don't look forward to finding out much I'll be gouched for.
