Additional Notes
Must register with the Arizona Secretary of State BEFORE making any telephone solicitations from or to Arizona. The $100,000 bond ties with California for the highest bond requirement in the country. Registration expires June 30 each year. Making solicitations without registration is a class 5 felony. Limited registrations (for sellers meeting certain exemption criteria) do not require a fee or bond. Full registration fee is $500 with a sliding scale based on month of registration.
Arizona does not require separate individual salesperson registration. The telephonic seller (business entity) registers with the Secretary of State, and individual employees are covered by the business registration. However, individual callers must comply with all disclosure and conduct requirements under Arizona's telephonic solicitation statutes.
Apply Before Your First Call
Operating as an unregistered telemarketer in Arizona is a separate violation from consent or calling-hours violations. You can be penalized $1,000 per call even if every other aspect of your operation is compliant.
