Kansas Senate Bill 106 (2021)

Kansas commissions notaries for a four-year term through the Secretary of State, requiring a $12,000 surety bond (effective January 1, 2022), a $25 application fee, and a compliant notary stamp. There is no mandatory written exam for a standard commission and no statutory cap on notarial fees, though fees must be disclosed and agreed to in advance. Notaries must keep a journal for 10 years, and electronic/remote notarization (IPEN/RON) requires free state training and a passing exam.

D.The Kansas Lieutenant Governor
Explanation: Under the Kansas Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (K.S.A. 53-5a01 et seq.), the Kansas Secretary of State appoints and commissions notaries public and processes all applications (Form NO). The Secretary of State's office mails the Notary Commission Certificate to approved applicants.
2How long is a Kansas notary public commission valid?
A.Ten years
B.Two years
C.Four years
D.Five years
Explanation: A Kansas notary public is appointed for a term of four years. The appointment expiration date is set by the Secretary of State and appears on the commission certificate and in the online notary listing.

A.16 years old
B.25 years old
C.18 years old
D.21 years old

B.A resident of a state bordering Kansas may be commissioned if they have a regular place of employment or practice in Kansas
C.Any U.S. resident may apply regardless of where they live or work
D.A nonresident can never be a Kansas notary
Explanation: Kansas allows a resident of a bordering state to be commissioned if the applicant has a regular place of employment or practice in Kansas. Such a notary may only perform notarial acts while physically in Kansas, never while in the bordering state.
5Does Kansas require an applicant to pass a written examination to obtain a standard (paper) notary commission?
A.No, Kansas does not require an exam for a standard notary commission
B.No, but a 6-hour classroom course is mandatory
C.Yes, a proctored written exam at a testing center is mandatory
D.Yes, but only an open-book online quiz
Explanation: Kansas does not require a written examination to obtain a standard notary commission. An applicant submits Form NO, a $12,000 surety bond, a stamp impression, and the application fee. An exam and training are only required to perform electronic notarizations (IPEN or RON).
6What surety bond amount must a Kansas notary maintain for applications submitted on or after January 1, 2022?

B.$7,500
C.$10,000

7What is the application fee to file a Kansas notary public appointment (Form NO)?
A.$20
B.$25
C.$10
D.$50
Explanation: The application fee submitted with the completed Notary Public Appointment Form (Form NO) is $25. This is separate from the cost of purchasing a surety bond and a notary stamp.
8Which body of law did Kansas enact, effective January 1, 2022, to govern notarial acts?
A.The Uniform Commercial Code, Article 9
B.The Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA)
C.The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
D.The Model Notary Act of 2010
Explanation: Kansas enacted the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) through Senate Bill 106, signed April 21, 2021, with all sections effective January 1, 2022. RULONA repealed the older Uniform Law on Notarial Acts and added journal, electronic, and RON provisions.
9A signer brings a deed already signed and tells the notary, 'I signed this earlier; I confirm it is my signature.' Which notarial act is this?
A.A jurat (verification on oath or affirmation)
B.A protest of a negotiable instrument
C.An acknowledgment
D.A copy certification
Explanation: An acknowledgment requires the signer to personally appear and verbally acknowledge that they signed the document; the notary need not watch the signing. Because the deed was signed earlier and the signer confirms the signature, this is an acknowledgment.
10For a jurat (verification on oath or affirmation) in Kansas, what must the notary do that is NOT required for an acknowledgment?
A.Verify the signer's identity
B.Administer an oath or affirmation and watch the signer sign in the notary's presence
C.Record the act in the journal
D.Require the signer's personal appearance
Explanation: A verification on oath or affirmation (jurat) requires the notary to administer an oath or affirmation AND watch the signer sign the document in the notary's presence. An acknowledgment requires neither the oath nor watching the signing.
