What Is the Kansas Notary Public Bond?

The Kansas notary bond is set at $12,000. It works like a promise to the people whose papers you notarize.

If something goes wrong and a signer loses money, the bond covers their loss up to $12,000. Since it protects the public, you repay the surety for whatever it pays.

You get two things here: the $12,000 bond for the public, and E&O coverage for yourself.
