Why does the notary block have blanks for state and county, and how do I fill them out?

The beginning of each notarial certificate should include jurisdictional information that indicates where the document was notarized, similar to the following: State of ___________ ), County of ___________ ). This information indicates where the notarization took place. The notary public completes the venue block by inserting “Kansas” and adding the county where the notarization occurred. a Kansas notary can notarize documents in all counties of Kansas but cannot notarize outside the state of Kansas.
