About this bond

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.

A.R.S. § 32-1982 (non-resident permit)Under A.R.S. § 32-1982 and the Board’s non-resident permit rules (Title 32, Chapter 18), a non-resident full-service wholesaler distributing prescription-only drugs into Arizona must maintain a $100,000 bond, or comparable security (line of credit or certificate of deposit), with the State Board of Pharmacy. The Board may waive the requirement for a permittee with a record of comparable security elsewhere. Confirm the current requirement with the Board.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000 — the flat premium from our carrier’s rate book. The $100,000 is the surety’s maximum liability to the Board; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How is this different from the resident wholesaler bond?The bond itself is the same $100,000 requirement under A.R.S. § 32-1982. This version is for a non-resident (out-of-state) permit — the Board also asks for your home-state permit and a designated representative’s qualifications alongside the bond.
What does the bond guarantee?Payment to the Board — administrative penalties, fees, and costs regarding your permit — and your compliance with the Arizona Pharmacy Practice Act for drugs shipped into Arizona. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price: the premium is $1,000 either way. Credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
Can the Board waive the bond?Yes. The Board may waive it if you have successfully maintained comparable security in another state where you held a license in good standing. If the Board waives it for you, you would not need to file this bond.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
