Become a Notary Public in Kansas
Kansas commissions notaries by application — there is no state exam. Commissions are handled by the Kansas Secretary of State — always confirm current requirements, fees, and forms with them directly.
No exam doesn't mean no preparation
Know your duties before your first notarization
Kansas notaries are personally liable for improper notarizations. Our Kansas study track covers identification rules, certificate wording, journal practices, fees, and prohibited acts — the things that get commissions suspended.
Kansas has no notary exam — so we don't sell prep for it
Kansas commissions notaries by application. There is no state examination to study for and no mandatory course, so exam prep would be selling you something you do not need. What you do need is the application itself, the fee, and — where your state requires them — a bond and an oath of office.
Apply through the Kansas Secretary of State
If you notarize in a state that does test — or you are moving — try free questions from the 26 states that require an exam.
