In this episode you will learn:

- Upon commission termination, a notary's journal and seal must be delivered to the Arizona Secretary of State, not the County Recorder.

- Delivery of the journal and records must be done via certified mail or another method that provides a receipt for proof.

- A notary who neglects to deposit their records for three months after their commission ends may face a monetary penalty.

- The requirement to report a lost or stolen journal to the Secretary of State has a strict 10-day deadline.

- The civil penalty for failing to report a lost or stolen journal can be up to $1,000, a separate issue from surrendering the journal post-commission.
