State of Kansas Official Notary Seal Requirements
Each notary public must have a notarial seal, which shall contain:
- The
notary’s name exactly as it appears on the notary application
- The words “Notary Public” and “State of Kansas.”
This
seal must be used whenever a notary performs an official act.
When
notarizing a document, the notary public must add to the document
the date of expiration of his or her appointment.
The notary public’s
seal must be either a seal press or a rubber stamp.
If a seal press is
used, the impression from the seal must be inked or blackened.
If a
rubber stamp is used, the stamp must have permanent ink.
Both the
seal press and the rubber stamp must be capable of legible reproduction after copying.
No seal can be used until an impression of it has
been filed with the Secretary of State’s office (K.S.A. 53-105).
