What this bond does
Section 9409 requires licensing security for honest conduct of the licensee. The resident company provides its bond to the Commissioner of Public Safety in the prescribed form.
- Who needs it
- Contract security companies providing guards for others and qualifying for Maine’s resident bond requirement. The licensing principal’s residency test depends on the applicant’s legal structure.
- Who it protects
- The bond supports the right of a person injured by the licensee’s intentional, knowing, reckless or negligent act to bring an action on it. It is security for the licensee’s conduct, not a declaration that every security incident is covered.

Questions about this bond
Does a Maine business address make a corporation resident?
Not by itself. Section 9409 defines a resident corporation by incorporation under Maine law. Other applicants use the residency of the natural person qualifying for the license.
Is this the nonresident company offering?
No. This page is for the resident $10,000 requirement. Section 9409 lists a separate $50,000 nonresident requirement.
Who receives the issued bond?
The statute requires delivery to the commissioner, defined as the Commissioner of Public Safety. Use the prescribed form and current licensing instructions.
