$1,000 at the $100,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to permitted.
Your wholesale permit is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Arizona licenses prescription-drug wholesalers through the State Board of Pharmacy under A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 18. A full-service wholesale permittee that distributes prescription-only drugs into, within, or from Arizona must maintain a bond as a condition of the permit — the Board sets the figure at $100,000 (or a comparable means of security).
The bond secures payment to the Board: it stands behind any administrative penalties the Board imposes and the fees and costs the Board incurs in connection with the permit, supporting compliance with the Arizona Pharmacy Practice Act for the wholesale distribution of prescription-only drugs.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board of Pharmacy. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The Board may waive the bond for a permittee with a history of successfully maintaining comparable security in another state where it held a license in good standing.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Board of Pharmacy. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your full-service wholesale permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
