FAQ
What is a specialty bond?
A specialty bond is a surety bond that a specific agency, program or permit requires. Examples are federal lease bonds, customs bonds and tax bonds. It protects the agency if you don't meet your obligations.
How do I know which bond my agency requires?
The agency or permit notice names the bond. Send us that notice and we'll use it to request your quote.
How is the price set?
The premium is typically a small percentage of the bond amount per year; the carrier sets the final price.
What if my bond isn't listed?
Request a quote and include the agency's name. We'll review it and follow up.
How do I get a specialty bond?
Request a quote with the form on this page. A licensed agent submits your application to a Treasury-listed surety carrier; once the carrier issues your bond, file it as the requiring agency directs.
What happens after I apply?
A licensed agent submits your application the same day it arrives; most quotes come back within one business day. The carrier decides approval and the final premium, and you pay only when your bond is issued.
