What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 non-resident 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.
