What you get with Notary Hub

Step 2: Take the State's Training Course and Pass an Exam​

Before performing Remote Online Notarizations, you must complete the state-provided training and exam.

Training and testing are free and provided by the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.
You can complete the course at your convenience. After passing the test, a certificate will be generated, which must be submitted with your RON registration to the Secretary of State.

Step 3: Notify the Secretary of State That You Intend to Perform RONs​

Prior to performing RONs, Kansas notaries must notify the Secretary of State of the technology platform they will use — for example, NotaryHub.com.

  • Submit Form NC (Notary Change) online via the Secretary of State’s submission portal
  • Include a copy of your training completion certificate
  • Pay the $20 registration fee
  • Your RON registration will run concurrently with your existing four-year notary commission

For more information, review the Kansas Notary Handbook.
If you have questions about your appointment, renewal, or RON endorsement status, contact the Secretary of State at notary@ks.gov or 785-296-4564.

It can take four to six weeks to become a remote notary in Kansas, most of which involves obtaining your traditional commission.
Once commissioned, the RON registration process is relatively quick and can be completed online.
