✍️ Sample AZ NOTARY Questions & Answers

1. Which of the following provides a valid reason for a notary to REFUSE or TERMINATE a remote online notarization session in Arizona?
The signer fails to successfully complete knowledge-based authentication

Failure to pass identity verification — such as failing KBA — is a lawful basis to refuse or terminate a RON session because the notary cannot confirm the signer's identity.

2. Which of the following statements about an Arizona notary's official seal is FALSE?
The notary's business address must be included on the seal.

The required elements on an Arizona notary seal include the notary's name, the words 'Notary Public,' the county of commission, the commission number, the expiration date, and the Great Seal of Arizona. There is no requirement for the notary's address, business or personal, to be on the seal.

3. What must an Arizona notary applicant do before receiving their commission?
Obtain a surety bond

Arizona requires notary applicants to obtain a surety bond before their commission is issued. The bond protects the public from financial harm caused by a notary's errors or misconduct.

4. A real estate transaction requires a deed to be acknowledged. The signer, who is visually impaired, cannot read the document. What must the Arizona notary do before completing the acknowledgment?
Read the document aloud to the signer or ensure it has been read to them before they acknowledge it

A notary should ensure the signer is aware of what they are acknowledging; for a visually impaired signer, the document should be read aloud so they can knowingly acknowledge the instrument.

5. Does an Arizona notary need to purchase a new seal when renewing?
Yes, because the expiration date on the seal will have changed

Since the seal must display the commission expiration date, and the renewed commission will have a new expiration date, the notary must obtain a new seal reflecting the updated information.

6. Arizona notaries who perform remote online notarizations (RON) must use an approved technology platform. Where is the list of approved platforms maintained?
The Arizona Secretary of State's office

The Arizona Secretary of State maintains the list of approved RON technology platforms that notaries must use to perform remote online notarizations.
