Bill > HB2344

This bill addresses notarial services for businesses in Arizona by establishing that if an entity does not provide a free option for document notarization at a physical location, individuals are permitted to use notarial services from any authorized notarial officer from their commissioning state. The bill defines an "entity" as having the same meaning prescribed in section 10-140 and specifically includes businesses with physical locations in Arizona that directly interact with customers. The key provision ensures that customers are not prevented from obtaining notarial services if a business does not offer free notarization, effectively giving individuals more flexibility in how and where they can get documents notarized. By allowing notarization through officers from other states, the bill provides additional convenience for individuals seeking notarial services when a business does not provide this service without charge.
