ByArizona Secretary of State

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
I n Arizona, a notary public is a public officer commissioned by the Secretary of State to perform notarial acts, as defined in the Arizona Revised Statutes (see Chapter 5). A notary, in essence, serves as an impartial witness pursuant to A.R.S. § 41- 328(B). Government offices, businesses and the public rely on the accuracy and integrity of notaries public. This means the notary should take the required steps to authenticate signatures and ensure that all notarizations are properly completed and performed. Many documents require a notarization in an effort to deter fraud, to prove the authenticity of the signature and to ensure that a signature was made willingly and not under duress. Therefore, it’s essential that a notary accept a valid form of identification, as defined in statutes, to determine that a signer is who he or she claims to be. Because the prevention of fraud and deception is central to the notary’s role, it is essential that a notary have no conflict of interest when notarizing a document.
