Arizona Notary Starter Kit: Requirements, Fees, ID Rules, Remote Notarization and Startup Checklist
Arizona now asks every new and renewing notary to pass a 45-question Pearson exam before filing the application, a notarized $5,000 bond and $43. Then come the posted fee schedule, the thumbprint journal and the Great Seal stamp.

Who it is for
Arizona residents applying for a first commission, and Arizona notaries adding electronic or remote online notarization.
Why it is different
- Built on current A.R.S. Title 41 sections and the 2018 fee rule, cited under each table.
- Spells out when a right thumbprint is required and when a remote session is exempt.
- Includes a reminder to post the Secretary of State's fee template before your first act.
What is inside
- Exam, $5,000 bond and $43 fee. Arizona's residency and tax-filing test, the 80% Pearson exam, the bond, the three-item filing and the 4-year term.
- Posted fee schedule, ID, thumbprints and stamp. Choosing and posting a standard fee up to $10, accepted IDs, the paper journal and thumbprint rule, and stamp size limits.
- Remote online notary authorization and disclaimers. How to add electronic and remote authorization at no state fee, recording retention, and the advertising penalties.
- Arizona commission checklist. From Pearson exam registration and bond purchase to posting your fee schedule and first appointment.
- Arizona startup budget. The $35 exam and $43 filing fee filled in, with blanks for bond, Great Seal stamp, thumbprint journal and RON vendor.
- Arizona journal pages. Columns for each A.R.S. §41-319 entry plus a right-thumbprint box.
