What this bond does

This offering addresses individual private investigator, security guard or bail recovery licensing. It is not a defendant’s bail bond, an employee application or the separate Agency & Employees coverage choice.

Who needs it
Individuals applying for one of the listed New Hampshire occupational licenses and matching the Individual Only bond coverage to their actual application.
Who it protects
RSA 106-F:9 requires lawful, honest business conduct without committing or aiding crime. It permits suit by the Attorney General in the state’s name or by a person injured by breach of a condition designed to protect that person; it is not a blanket promise to cover every loss.

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.

Match one occupation and the actual license dates

DSSP 259 has separate application boxes for individual investigator, security guard and bail recovery licenses. The bond’s combined title does not automatically grant all three. RSA 106-F:9 sets a minimum $50,000 and adds $50,000 for each additional type held.

The posted individual application expressly asks for a two-year approved-form bond concurrent with the license, in the individual’s name. This is an application instruction, not a term supplied by the public purchase option. Confirm the requested sum and dates with Permits and Licensing when more than one type is involved.

Prepare the individual packet for in-person delivery

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Use the individual’s legal name, applicable DBA, State of New Hampshire wording, requested sum, and concurrent dates. The DSSP 55 form distinguishes Individual Only from Agency & Employees and has principal/surety execution and witness lines.

After issuance, review the bond and complete the licensing materials together. The State Police page directs individual applications to be delivered in person—not mailed—to Permits and Licensing at 33 Hazen Drive, Room 106, Concord. The statute identifies the Secretary of State as the bond’s custodian; follow the operational packet instructions rather than inventing a separate delivery step.

Questions about this bond

Does a $50,000 bond automatically cover three license types?

The statute adds $50,000 for each additional license type. The title lists possible occupations; it does not make one base-sum application sufficient for every combination.

Can I name only my trade name?

The posted individual application requires the bond in the individual’s name and separately asks for a DBA. Match both as applicable rather than replacing the person with a business label.

Should the bond start on the day I purchase it?

Use the licensing dates requested by State Police. The individual application expressly calls for the two-year bond to run concurrently with the license; purchase date is not a substitute for that direction.
