Providing for the modernization of notarization and the notary public process with respect to real estate documents for the purpose of mitigation of real estate document-related fraud, requiring the development, implementation and administration of a two-tiered authentication system for notarization of real estate documents and requiring use of a 3D biometric antifraud system by all notaries public by December 31, 2027.
This bill creates a new category of "verified notaries public" for real estate documents in Kansas. By December 31, 2027, these notaries must use a special biometric antifraud system, including 3D facial scanning, to verify identities. This aims to reduce fraud in real estate transactions, and counties will require this system for recording documents after that date.
