ARIZONA NOTARY BONDS

Notaries are required to maintain surety bonds for the State of Arizona. This is because they handle important documents for citizens and a mistake, whether committed purposely or by accident, can have a disastrous financial consequence for people they are notarizing for. A surety bond protects the public from these mistakes for the policy amount of the bond.

A $5,000 notary surety bond is required for all applicants in the state of Arizona (new and renewal) applying for a notary public commission. This bond is an insurance agreement making the surety liable for up to $5,000 in damages for failure of the notary applicant to perform his or her duties that results in damage to the public.
