What Is an Arizona Notary Bond?
An Arizona Notary Bond is a state‑required surety bond that protects the public from financial harm caused by a notary’s errors, misconduct, or failure to follow Arizona notary laws.
This bond ensures:
- Proper identity verification
- Accurate notarization
- Compliance with Arizona Secretary of State requirements
The bond does not protect the notary—it protects the public. Notaries may choose to add optional Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage for personal protection.
