Four numbers, three of them paid to the state or its vendor — not to us:
| Item | Cost | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Exam fee | $35 (current Pearson VUE notice; the legacy Prometric notice reads $46.75) | Testing vendor |
| Commission filing | $43 ($25 application + $18 bond filing) | Arizona Secretary of State |
| Surety bond | $5,000 four-year bond; premium varies by surety — shop it | Licensed surety |
| This course (optional) | $69 launch / $79 list | AzNotaryClass.com |
