Kansas Statutes Chapter 20. Courts § 20-365. Clerks of district courts; use of facsimile signature

Records and judicial proceedings requiring the attestation of the clerk of the district court may, upon order of the chief judge of such court, be authenticated by the clerk by the use of a facsimile signature in lieu of the clerk's manual signature. The facsimile signature shall be a reproduction by engraving, imprinting, stamping or other means of the manual signature of the clerk. The clerk shall file with the secretary of state such clerk's manual signature and facsimile signature certified by such clerk under oath. Upon compliance with these provisions by the clerk, such clerk's facsimile signature has the same legal effect as such clerk's manual signature. Upon appropriate supreme court rule, an electronic signature of the clerk may be authorized and has the same legal effect as a manual signature.
