Arizona Certification of the Clerk is a process that certifies individuals to serve as clerks in the state of Arizona. This certification is necessary for those working in Arizona courts, town halls, and other government offices that require the assistance of a clerk. There are two types of Arizona Certification of the Clerk: the Certified Clerk and the Certified Deputy Clerk. The Certified Clerk is responsible for the accurate and timely processing of documents, records, and other materials that are necessary for the operation of Arizona courts. This includes filing documents, issuing subpoenas, and keeping accurate records. The Certified Clerk must have a minimum of two years of office experience and must pass a state-administered examination. The Certified Deputy Clerk is responsible for assisting the Certified Clerk with their duties. This includes filing paperwork, keeping records, and maintaining the court calendar. The Certified Deputy Clerk must have a minimum of one year of office experience and must pass a state-administered examination. Both the Certified Clerk and the Certified Deputy Clerk must pass the Arizona Certification of the Clerk examination and must abide by the Arizona Rules of Court. Both certifications must be renewed every two years.
