Kansas Notary Fees
There is no statutory fee schedule in Kansas that a notary public must follow,
nor is there a prohibition against a notary public charging a fee. Therefore,
a notary public may charge a reasonable fee for the performance of a notarial act.
Become a Kansas Notary Public
You must be at least eighteen years old and reside in Kansas or reside in a
neighboring state but be employed or run a business in Kansas to qualify for a
notary commission and may fill out a Kansas notary application. Applicants must
not have any felony convictions, and would be disqualified if they have had any
professional licenses revoked. Applicants must have a $7500 notary bond. The
applicant must affix a clear impression of their notary seal on the application.
The notary seal must include the name of the applicant, the words "Notary Public",
"State of Kansas", but the expiration date should be left blank for now. The applicant
must take an oath in front of a notary public. Once the application has been accepted,
the applicant will receive a certificate, wallet card, and a Kansas notary handbook. The
new notary can now notarize documents. The notary commission is current for four years.
The expiration date is based on when the Secretary of State filed the application. If
the notary's name or address changes once they have a commission, they must file a change
of status form with the Secretary of State's office.
