What this bond does
Kansas requires $12,000 surety security for the four-year notary commission. The bond-only, $10,000 E&O, and $15,000 E&O choices keep the required bond separate from optional insurance.
- Who needs it
- New and renewing Kansas notaries choosing among the bond-only and two E&O packages shown below.
- Who it protects
- The surety bond protects those harmed by a notary’s covered failure to perform legal duties. E&O is separate insurance subject to its own policy terms, limits, and exclusions; do not substitute an insurance policy for required surety security.
Choose from 3 options
Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.
