Kansas Notary Starter Kit: $12,000 Bond, Form NO, $25 Fee, Mandatory Journal and RON Registration
In Kansas you buy your stamp before you apply, and the $12,000 bond goes on Form NO itself. Since SB 106, every notary keeps a journal for 10 years. This kit follows the Secretary of State's process and K.S.A. 53-5a.
