Minnesota Public Adjuster Bond Requirements, Cost & Filing Guide
Get the Minnesota Public Adjuster Bond required for licensing. Jet helps public adjusters and adjuster business entities review the Minnesota bond requirement, compare price options, and receive filing instructions after purchase.
Minnesota requires a $10,000 Public Adjuster Bond before an initial or renewal public adjuster license may be issued. The bond must be issued by an insurer authorized to do business in Minnesota and must have the State of Minnesota as obligee.
The bond protects people, other than a partner or associate of the applicant, from loss involving covered public adjuster conduct, including fraud, dishonesty, forgery, theft, and covered failure to promptly pay amounts received by the public adjuster. The bond amount is not the price paid for the bond.
Last updated: July 2026. Minnesota public adjuster bond requirements and filing instructions may change. Confirm final licensing instructions with the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Sircon, or your license application before filing.

Popular Public Adjuster Bond State Guides
Multi-State Public Adjusters
Working across state lines is common during catastrophe seasons and for national programs. Keep each public adjuster license organized so bonds and filing requirements do not lapse or get submitted incorrectly.
Bonds Are State Specific
Most states require a separate bond that matches the exact license name, bond form, filing authority, and principal information.
Filing Methods Vary
Some regulators accept electronic filing, while others require uploads, email submissions, mailed originals, or state-specific bond forms.
Pricing Varies by State
Each state limit and license type is priced separately. Do not assume that two states with similar limits will have the same premium.
Renewal Timing Matters
Keep bond and license renewal dates organized so the public adjuster license remains supported by an active bond.
