Questions about this bond
Does a predecessor's bond cover my service?
Do not assume it does. Arrange the instrument requested for you and your capacity.
Is the same amount used by every Alabama official?
Use your office's requested amount. This general offering does not establish a statewide amount for all positions.
Does purchase complete the oath or appointment?
No. Any oath, appointment and filing steps belong to the public authority's process.
