New York, NY — Process Serving Agency Bond

New York City repealed its former process-server security provision effective September 8, 2026. Do not buy this agency listing to satisfy that retired City requirement. The Southern Agency has not established a separate current written undertaking that would justify a new purchase here; ongoing DCWP agency licensing and operating duties still apply.

What this bond does

The still-hosted City agency model refers to former Administrative Code § 20-406.1 and its historical $100,000 security. The current Code expressly marks that section repealed. Hosting of the old model and availability of this listing do not establish a present financial filing for the agency.

Who needs it
A business that assigns, distributes or delivers process to others for actual service should check DCWP’s Process Serving Agency licensing instructions. An agency’s file differs from an individual server’s credential and does not become a current security obligation simply because the business hires or assigns servers.
Who it protects
No current protection or accepted condition has been established for a new purchase under this listing after the City repeal. Historical model terms should not be presented as a present promise of City or customer claim protection. Any genuinely separate written undertaking needs its own current parties, condition, amount and dates.

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.

The old agency model is not a current filing instruction

The current Code records repeal of § 20-406.1 by Local Law 2025/183, effective September 8, 2026. The City’s downloadable model still describes $100,000 agency security under that section, alongside a different individual model. Those are historical terms, not a current recommendation to purchase the agency amount.

This review does not determine whether an earlier issued instrument still responds to an earlier event or how it may be canceled. Do not cancel existing coverage or treat old liabilities as extinguished based on this page. The present issue is whether there is a supported new obligation to buy here.

Agency licensing, rosters and electronic records continue

DCWP’s current agency checklist applies when a person or business assigns, distributes or delivers process to another for actual service. It lists the agency background form, server roster, compliance-plan affirmation, GPS-services affirmation, and recordkeeping certification. The basic application and any authority-to-act paperwork also remain relevant.

The current Code retains agency responsibilities for the service assigned to individual servers. Current § 20-406.3 requires electronic process records for no less than seven years; employee statements under § 20-406.2 are a separate record category. Keep roster updates and actual recordkeeping arrangements current rather than treating the repeal as an end to licensing.

Proceed only for an established separate written request

If someone asks the agency for financial security, obtain the current written request identifying the actual legal agency, requesting party, covered activity, accepted condition, amount, and effective period. A saved copy of the retired City model is not enough. No separate current basis has been established here.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab, but do not use it solely because the button is active. If a genuinely separate undertaking is confirmed, match every requested term before completing the application. This option supplies no public amount or term label, and purchase does not obtain or renew DCWP agency licensure.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Current DCWP agency licensing/renewal documents, roster and actual electronic-record/GPS/compliance arrangements.
  2. If separately requested, a current written undertaking explaining why financial security is needed after the City repeal.
  3. Exact legal agency, requesting party, condition, amount, dates, and accepted form for that separate request.
  4. Existing issued documents and actual claim/cancellation terms kept separate from the decision about any new purchase.

Questions about this bond

Must I buy the old $100,000 model for a new agency license?

The former City security section was repealed effective September 8, 2026, and the current agency checklist does not list it. Do not purchase for that retired provision. A different current undertaking has not been established for this listing.

Did the repeal remove the agency license and records duties?

No. DCWP’s current agency checklist still covers licensing, rosters, compliance/GPS affirmations, and electronic records. The current Code also retains the related operating and recordkeeping provisions.

Does this page say an old issued instrument can be canceled without consequences?

No. Earlier acts, claims and cancellation duties require the actual issued terms and applicable facts. The verified repeal does not by itself decide those questions.
