# Kentucky Notary Starter Kit: $10 State Application, County Clerk Oath Within 30 Days, $1,000 Bond and Online Notary Registration

Kentucky charges only $10 for the commission, but the clock starts when approval arrives: 30 days to be sworn and bonded at your county clerk. There is no per-act cap, so your fee must be disclosed up front.

Who it is for

Kentuckians who live or work in the county where they apply, notaries renewing so there is no gap in authority, and Kentucky notaries thinking about online notary registration.

Not the right fit if

You aren't applying in Kentucky, or you can't get to your county clerk in person within 30 days of approval to qualify.

Why it is different

- Explains the renewal gap rule in KRS 423.390(8), so your authority never lapses.
- Separates what every Kentucky notary must do from what only online notaries must do.
- Shows a real county clerk fee as an example instead of guessing a statewide number.

What is inside

- **Secretary of State approval and the clerk's 30 days.** KRS 423.390 qualifications, the $10 application, the approval notice, the $1,000 bond and the county clerk visit.
- **Fee disclosure, ID choices and the optional stamp.** Why KRS 423.430 sets no cap, the 423.325 ID order, the family conflict rule, and when a journal becomes mandatory.
- **Online registration and misleading ads.** The 30-day registration wait, remote rules in 30 KAR 8:005, 10-year recordings, and 423.395(1)(f).
- **Approval-to-oath tracker.** Application, notice, bond, clerk visit and renewal, with dates to write in.
- **Kentucky commission costs.** The $10 state fee filled in, with blanks for your county clerk's fee, the $1,000 bond premium and an optional stamp.
- **Act log pages.** A log with an in-person or online column, matching the online journal entries in KRS 423.380.
