Arizona Notary Bond Overview

Arizona requires all notaries public to obtain a $5,000 surety bond to protect the public from financial losses caused by notarial errors or misconduct. Starting in 2025, Arizona will implement a new examination requirement for all notary applicants, bringing the state in line with many others.

The Arizona notary bond must be filed with your commission application and remains in effect for the entire 4-year commission term. Arizona notaries must also maintain a sequential journal of all notarial acts, which serves as additional protection for both the notary and the public.
