Insurance Agency Bonds

An individual or agency that sells insurance policies and conducts insurance-related transactions on behalf of clients may be required to obtain an Insurance Agency surety bond as part of their licensing process. These bonds are regulated on the state level, and bond amounts and requirements may vary depending on the license type and jurisdiction. Click below to apply for your bond with Jet!

How Much Does an Insurance Agency Bond Cost?

The price of the bond is typically a small percentage of the bond limit. Limits can vary by state, and similar bonds might go by slightly different names or requirements depending on the regulatory agency. For an example of Jet's pricing, below is a chart of the monthly and multi-year rates for the Texas Insurance Agency bond:

Monthly$13
1-Year$125
2-Year$219
3-Year$313

What is the Purpose of the Bond?

Insurance agents and agencies help clients secure the necessary insurance coverage, handle client funds, and process the transaction. This creates an opportunity for financial harm if the agency acts dishonestly or violates insurance law. The parties protected by the bond are the policyholders, and the insurance carriers themselves. State regulatory agencies may require this bond to guarantee that the agency will comply with all applicable state laws and licensing requirements. If a client or insurer suffers financial damages due to prohibited activity by the agent, the bond may be able to provide restitution for valid claims. Below is a list of examples that could potentially lead to a claim:

This list is not exhaustive; it's important to understand the laws of your state regulator.

How Are These Bonds Filed?

Filing procedures can vary by state, but the standard process is typically for you to mail or email the signed bond to the obligee. After you purchase, Jet will email you a copy of your bond form that you can print out and sign, or electronically sign if the obligee you're working with allows for it. In the event that you are required to mail in the physical bond form, Jet will mail you the original sealed bond form for you to sign and mail in. If your specific bond is filed in the National Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), Jet can file the bond for you after you grant us authority.
