A Kansas notary acknowledgment form records a declaration before a notary confirming that the signature on a document is that of the signer. The form contains the acknowledgment date, the signer’s name, the notary’s stamp, and the commission expiration date. Once the notary completes and signs the form, the document’s signature and the signer’s identity are deemed authentic.
A notary public’s commission lasts four years before they must apply for renewal (§ 53-5a22(f)).
