An Arizona notary public bond is a surety obligation filed with the Arizona Secretary of State so a commissioned notary can lawfully perform notarial acts during the commission term.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under A.R.S. § 41-315 up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Arizona obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
Amount, premium, term, and the authority that requires this filing.
Anyone applying for or renewing an Arizona notary public commission must purchase and file the required bond before the commission becomes effective.
Purchase a four-year bond from a licensed surety, match the name on your SOS application, and file the original with your notary paperwork within the statutory timing window.
Share your license type, court order, or obligee form and the exact penal sum required by Arizona Secretary of State.
We review credit and filing details, then quote premium options through licensed surety markets.
Once approved, we issue the bond for delivery to Arizona Secretary of State or for your Arizona filing package.
The amount is $5,000 surety bond for a standard Arizona notary commission (4-year term). Remote online notarization may require a separate higher bond — confirm current SOS form before filing., as set under A.R.S. § 41-315 and confirmed with Arizona Secretary of State.
The obligee is typically Arizona Secretary of State. Always match the exact name on the Arizona form.
Many Arizona filings can be underwritten the same day when documents and credit are complete; complex amounts may take longer.
Not always. Premium and collateral options vary by credit and bond size — ask for markets that still write the risk.
Most bonds renew on the term shown (4 Years). Keep continuity so your Arizona license or filing does not lapse.
