To become an Arizona Notary Public, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must be an Arizona resident;
- You must be at least 18 years old; and
- You must not have been convicted of a felony unless your civil rights have been restored.
- You can be an Arizona Notary Public if you are not a U.S. citizen but you must be an Arizona resident for tax purposes. That means you must claim your Arizona residence as your primary residence on state and federal tax forms. (Attorney General Opinion 78-119)
- You must obtain a 4-Year Arizona Notary Public Bond in the amount of $5,000* and submit this with your notary application.
If you meet these requirements, you may be eligible to become an Arizona Notary Public. When you sign your application form, you are attesting that you meet these requirements. If we find that you do not meet these requirements, we may refuse to issue you a Notary commission or we may revoke your Notary commission. You could be guilty of lying or submitting false information on your application form. Lying on an application form constitutes perjury and is a fraudulent act. (A.R.S. ยงยง 41-213(E) and 41-330(A)(1))
