An out-of-state full-service drug wholesaler shipping prescription drugs into Arizona files a $100,000 bond with the State Board of Pharmacy under A.R.S. § 32-1982 and the non-resident permit rules. Ours is $3,000 flat — 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your non-resident permit is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your non-resident wholesale permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
$100,000 bond × 3% = $3,000, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Arizona requires an out-of-state (non-resident) drug wholesaler that distributes prescription-only drugs into Arizona to hold a non-resident full-service wholesale permit from the State Board of Pharmacy — and, like resident permittees, to maintain a $100,000 bond (or comparable security) under A.R.S. § 32-1982.
For a non-resident permit, the Board asks for a copy of the facility’s home-state permit, the $100,000 bond (or a line of credit or certificate of deposit), and the designated representative’s qualifications. The bond secures payment of administrative penalties, fees, and costs the Board incurs regarding the permit, and backs compliance with the Arizona Pharmacy Practice Act.
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 comparable security in another state where it held a license in good standing.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
