In this episode you will learn: - That the Arizona notary renewal process is identical to a new application, with no automatic renewal or grace period. - A renewal packet requires a new application, a $43 fee, and a new four-year, $5,000 surety bond. - As of July 2025, all renewing notaries must pass an open-book state exam with a score of 80% or higher. - Upon renewal, you receive a new four-year commission and must obtain a new notary seal with the updated expiration date. - A common exam trap involves the timing of using your new seal; you cannot use it before the official start date of your new commission.
