Overview
Kansas notaries public serve the public by witnessing signatures, administering oaths, and certifying acknowledgments — and the people who rely on those acts deserve protection if something goes wrong. This package combines two layers of coverage in one transaction: a surety bond that Kansas law requires and that protects Kansas residents from financial harm caused by a notary's misconduct or neglect, plus an optional $15,000 errors-and-omissions policy that protects the notary personally from honest mistakes. The E&O coverage is voluntary but widely recommended — many Kansas notaries choose to add it for their own peace of mind. Buying both together here means you can handle your commission in one convenient step.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you have applied for a Kansas notary public commission and need to post the state-required surety bond before your commission is issued, this package is the right purchase. It is also the right choice if your current Kansas commission is expiring and you are ready to renew — each new commission term requires a new bond. The optional E&O policy included in this package is especially popular with notaries who handle routine public notarizations and want personal protection against claims arising from honest errors. First-time applicants and renewing notaries alike can complete this purchase online without waiting for an agent.
What is this Bond For?
Kansas residents who have documents notarized trust that the notary will perform those acts correctly and honestly. The surety bond portion of this package financially protects members of the public if a notary's error, omission, or misconduct causes them real harm. The optional $15,000 errors-and-omissions policy included in this package then protects the notary personally — covering defense costs and damages if an innocent mistake leads to a claim against you. Together, these two instruments mean the public is covered and so are you, though the E&O component is a voluntary addition that many notaries find well worth having.
When is it Required?
The state-required surety bond must be in place before a Kansas notary commission is officially issued, whether it is your first commission or a renewal. You cannot carry your previous bond into a new commission term; each term requires its own fresh bond. If you are approaching the end of your current commission, now is the time to act so there is no gap in your authorized status. The errors-and-omissions policy, by contrast, is not required by the state of Kansas — it is optional coverage you can purchase at any time, whether before commissioning, after, or at renewal. It is simply included here as a recommended addition because it protects you personally in a way the surety bond does not.
Where Does it Apply?
The required surety bond is a statewide Kansas instrument and covers your notary activities anywhere within Kansas. It is not limited to a single county or city — your commission authorizes you to perform notarizations throughout the state, and this bond travels with that authority. The optional E&O policy applies to those same acts. If you perform remote online notarizations as a Kansas-commissioned notary, both the bond and the E&O coverage apply to those acts as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Kansas notary commission is ending. Do I renew this bond, or do I need to buy a new one?
You need to purchase a new bond for each new commission term. Kansas does not carry bonds over from one commission to the next — when your commission expires, so does the bond tied to it. When you apply to be recommissioned, that new term requires its own surety bond. If you also carried the optional E&O policy, you can choose to add it again at that time. The good news is the process is just as fast the second time around: return to Bond Titan, click 'Buy This Bond Online,' and you'll have your new bond documents ready to file.
I'm moving to a different county in Kansas. Does my notary bond still cover me?
Yes, completely. Your Kansas notary commission is a statewide commission, not a county-specific one, and this bond is written to match that statewide authority. Moving from one Kansas county to another does not affect the bond's validity or your commission. You may need to update your address with the state's commissioning office, but you do not need to purchase a new bond simply because you relocated within Kansas.
What is the difference between the notary bond and the errors-and-omissions policy included in this package?
They protect different parties. The surety bond is required by Kansas law and protects the public — Kansas residents who rely on your notarizations and suffer a loss because of your misconduct or neglect can make a claim against the bond. The $15,000 errors-and-omissions policy is optional coverage that protects you, the notary. If you make an honest mistake — the wrong date, a missed step in your procedure — and someone sues you for it, the E&O policy can cover your legal defense costs and any resulting damages up to the policy limit. The bond does not protect you personally; the E&O policy does. This package includes both so you are covered on both sides, though you should know the E&O component is voluntary and not mandated by the state.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
Can I buy this bond entirely online?
