New York — Individual Process Server - For The FULL ONLY Bond (2 Years)
New York City repealed its process-server surety provision effective September 8, 2026. Do not buy The Southern Agency’s existing two-year individual listing merely to satisfy that former City licensing condition. A different current request needs its own applicable basis and accepted form.

What this bond does
The priority is confirming whether a separate, current undertaking actually applies. The old NYC model is not proof of a current licensing obligation, and the existing two-year purchase option does not preserve a repealed condition.
- Who needs it
- An individual server checking a specific current written request. This broad New York title is not a statewide credential, a license grant or automatic coverage for a process-serving agency.
- Who it protects
- No separate current undertaking or its protected parties has been verified for this listing. The historical City model described City/aggrieved-person protection, but that is not a verified description of a new current obligation.

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
Why does an old City model still describe a $10,000 individual bond?
That model remains online, but current Section 20-406.1 is marked repealed effective September 8, 2026. A downloadable historical form is not proof of a current licensing condition.
Does that repeal eliminate the individual process-server license?
No. DCWP’s current checklist still sets out individual licensing and related requirements. The change to this particular security provision is not permission to ignore licensing or operating rules.
Does “FULL ONLY” prove the two-year option is still needed?
No. It is an existing listing label, not evidence of current applicability or a guarantee of 24 months of license authority. Any separate current request and accepted instrument need confirmation first.
