Arkansas requires notaries to carry a $7,500 surety bond — tied at #8 out of 19 among the 19 states that set a specific bond amount (the typical requirement nationally runs around $7,500). At typical notary-bond premium rates, that works out to roughly $60–$100 to purchase for the full commission term — not an annual cost.
Arkansas's notary commission runs 10 years — longer than the 4-year term most states use.
Bond premium estimates from published notary-bond rate tables (JW Surety Bonds, SuretyBonds.com); actual price depends on the surety provider and, for larger bonds, the applicant's credit.
