What is a commission certificate?

Explanation:
The commission certificate is the official document issued by the Arizona Secretary of State that proves you’ve been appointed and authorized to act as a notary public. It names you, shows your commission number, and states the expiration date of your authority. This certificate is the formal proof you are allowed to perform notarial acts. It is different from the notary’s seal (used to emboss or stamp documents), the journal (which records each act), or the bond (a financial guarantee required as part of the appointment).
