The Superintendent of Insurance, Producer Licensing Bureau is responsible for exactly what is described in its title—managing the licensure and regulation of insurance agents/business entities within the State of New Mexico. This includes those seeking a public adjuster or independent adjuster license. To receive and maintain such a license, the Bureau requires a $10,000 bond.
Get your bond in minutes:
Jet Insurance Company provides both the Public and Independent Adjuster Bonds to act as a means of restitution to any party (the Bureau themselves or a policyholder) that has been financially damaged by the adjuster due to a license violation.
Both the Public and Independent Adjuster Bonds are available for just $5 a month!
At Jet, prices for the $10,000 Public Adjuster Bond and the $10,000 Independent Adjuster Bond are a small percentage of the bond’s limit and are based on a soft credit check of the applicant. For example, either bond may be purchased at $50 for a one-year bond term or a convenient $5 a month.
If you are interested in additional payment options, take a look at the price chart below for further details.
Bond Term | Cost |

As stated before, the New Mexico Office of the Superintendent of Insurance, Producer Licensing Bureau manages and regulates the insurance industry, which includes the licensing of resident/non-resident agents and business entities (i.e. public and independent adjusters).
Once licensed, all applicable regulations pursuant to Chapter 59A, Article 13 of the New Mexico Insurance Code must be followed. If the licensee is found guilty of violating such rules or committing unethical business practices, funds from the appropriate surety bond (either the Public Adjuster Bond or the Independent Adjuster Bond) may be used to recompense the damaged party for any wrongful financial losses. The purpose of each bond is to simply provide financial protection to the Bureau themselves, as well as New Mexico consumers.
At Jet, your application for either surety bond may be completed fully online! To begin, some general information is required such as your contact details and social security number for a soft credit check (this process will not impact your current credit score so no need to worry). Once the application has been submitted, a Jet underwriter will present you with approved rate options that are available for immediate purchase. Following the official purchase, Jet will instantly send you a copy of your receipt and bond form via email.
For details on the bond filing process with the Bureau, read further below.
The Jet team can file your surety bond for you at no extra cost! However, if you would prefer to take care of the filing process yourself, the option to do so may be selected at checkout.
