Questions about this bond
Does this bond-only offering include E&O?
No. It expressly excludes E&O coverage. Montana does not require E&O insurance, but the bond and any personal insurance should be considered separately.
What date should I check on the bond?
If an effective date appears, Montana requires it to be within 30 days before or after the Secretary of State receives your commission application. Coordinate that date with your planned submission.
Do renewals also require a bond?
Yes. The Secretary of State directs both new and renewing applicants to obtain a surety bond to submit with their application.
Does purchasing the bond complete my oath?
No. After issuance, sign the standardized form as Principal and complete its notarized statement and oath. Then submit the commission application and required documents.
