Notarial Acts: “Except as prescribed by subsection E of this section, a notary public shall keep only one paper journal at a time. The notary public shall record all notarial acts in chronological order” (ARS 41-319.A). NOTE: Subsection E permits Arizona Notaries to keep one journal for public records and another for non-public records; see “Public and Non-Public Records,” below.
“Additionally, although not required by law, use of a permanently bound journal is recommended for the notary’s protection. Permanently bound pages are more difficult to remove or lose than loose-leaf pages.” (RM).In-Person Electronic Notarial Acts: An Electronic Notary must keep a journal of all electronic acts in a bound paper form, just as is kept for paper-based notarizations (AAC R2-12-1203).
