Recording Phone Calls in Arizona: Do You Need a Lawyer?

Direct Answer

In Arizona, you are allowed to record a phone call without the other party’s consent, but only if you are a party to the conversation. This means that if you are one of the people participating in the call, you can record it without informing the other person. However, if you are not a party to the conversation, you will need the consent of at least one party to record the call.

Arizona Recording Laws

Arizona is a “one-party consent” state, which means that only one party to the conversation needs to consent to the recording. This applies to both in-person and phone conversations. As long as you are a party to the conversation, you can record it without breaking the law.
