nal documents on file with an office/entity must be certified by
that entity (i.e., court documents are certified by the court clerk
who retains the originals; corporation documents filed with the
secretary of state’s office are certified by the secretary of state;
birth/death certificates are certified by the Kansas department of
Health and Environment, office of Vital statistics, which main­
tains the original records, etc.).
(F) Noting a Protest: a protest is a certificate of dishonor made
by a notary public or other person authorized by the law where
dishonor occurs. The protest must identify the instrument and
certify either that presentment has been made or, if not made,
the reason why it was not made, and that the instrument has
been dishonored by nonacceptance or nonpayment. The protest
also may certify that notice of dishonor has been given to some
or all parties.
