# Arkansas Notary Starter Kit: 25-Question Exam, $7,500 Bond, County Oath Filing, 10-Year Term and eNotary

Arkansas gives you a 10-year commission, but only after you pass a 25-question exam and file with two offices: the Secretary of State and your county's circuit clerk. This kit follows the 2025 Handbook step by step.

Who it is for

Arkansas residents and border-state workers taking the Secretary of State's exam, notaries filing their oath at the circuit clerk, and Arkansas notaries adding an electronic commission.

Not the right fit if

You aren't applying in Arkansas, or you need exam practice more than filing help; the Arkansas Notary Exam Prep covers the 25-question exam.

Why it is different

- Built on the Secretary of State's 2025 Handbook.
- Flags where older Secretary of State pages disagree with the Handbook, so you can ask before you rely on them.
- Explains the two-office filing that trips up new Arkansas notaries.

What is inside

- **Exam, bond and the circuit clerk.** Who qualifies, the 20-of-25 exam, the $7,500 bond, the online application and the county oath filing.
- **Reasonable fees, ID judgment and county seal.** What the 2025 Handbook says on fees and ID, the suggested journal, and what your seal must and must not show.
- **eNotary, remote acts and the notario notice.** The electronic amendment, provider list and 2-year refresher, plus the English and Spanish notice.
- **Account-to-county checklist.** Bond, online account, exam, application, county filing and the certificate you send back.
- **Arkansas fee worksheet.** The Secretary of State's $20 ten-year fee filled in, with blanks for the card convenience fee, circuit clerk filing, bond premium and seal.
- **Handbook-style log pages.** Pages with the entries the Handbook suggests, including itemized fees.

**Is this legal or tax advice?**

General information from the Arkansas Secretary of State, not legal advice.

**Where do I take the Arkansas notary oath?**

At your county recorder of deeds, usually the circuit clerk, where you also file the original $7,500 bond and pay the county fee. Your commission isn't valid until it's filed with both the Secretary of State and the county.
