Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Maintain the broker's own bond

The Division's bulletin requires continuous security and a principal name matching the broker's legal name. A company holding both broker and lender licenses must maintain separate corporate bonds.

The principal and surety execute the bond before its submission through NMLS. A provider receipt does not replace those execution and delivery tasks.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Broker legal name and company NMLS ID.
  2. Broker request and any existing bond details.
  3. Required effective date and company signatory.

Questions about this bond

Can my lender bond replace this one?

The Division bulletin calls for two company bonds when both licenses are held: a broker bond and a separately sized lender bond.

Is the broker bond continuous?

Yes. The bulletin requires continuous duration. Maintain the required security without treating the license renewal as a new bond's automatic delivery.

Where do I apply?

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Provider review and issuance precede company execution and NMLS delivery; purchase does not approve the license.
