Remote Online Notarization (RON)
RON Available
Kansas authorizes remote online notarization. Additional requirements may apply.
Key Considerations
- Kansas adopted Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) in KSA Chapter 53, Article 5a
- 3-year ID expiration grace period (generous - ID can be expired not more than 3 years)
- NO fee caps - notaries set own fees (unique freedom)
- MANDATORY fee disclosure and agreement before performing act (KSA requirement)
- Must disclose to signer that fee is permitted but not required by state law
