New Jersey — Security Agency License Bond
New Jersey’s currently posted security-agency form is a $5,000 bond to the State. It backs faithful and honest operation of the licensed agency, not an individual officer’s SORA registration. Apply through The Southern Agency with the exact agency principal and NJSP licensing request ready.

What this bond does
SORA Section 45:19A-3(d) makes license issuance depend on an executed bond satisfactory to the Superintendent. The posted form conditions security on conducting the business faithfully, honestly and according to law over its stated two-year period.
- Who needs it
- Owners/operators preparing a security officer company’s New Jersey license or renewal, including a watch, guard or patrol agency within SORA’s company definition. Individual officer registration is a separate process.
- Who it protects
- The form binds the principal and surety to the State of New Jersey. Its condition concerns lawful agency conduct; it does not promise payment for every security incident or serve as general liability insurance for the company.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is this an individual security officer registration bond?
No. The posted instrument concerns the licensed security agency. NJSP maintains distinct agency-owner and individual-officer application processes.
Does cancellation erase earlier agency liability?
The form’s 30-day notice provision terminates future surety liability after that notice period but expressly preserves principal liability accrued before its expiration.
Should I order from an older form found in a search?
Use the current NJSP-linked agency form and accepted request. NJSP says its page carries current PDU forms and that blank older search links indicate removed forms. Confirm names and execution rather than treating an old filename as approval.
