North Carolina — Collection Agency DOMESTIC Replacement - MAIL Bond
Replacing a North Carolina domestic collection agency's client-funds bond requires the permit holder's current amount and DOI acceptance of the replacement. Coordinate the effective dates and obtain the Commissioner's written release of the old surety. Buying this MAIL option alone does not complete that transition.

What this bond does
The domestic bond under section 58-70-20(a) protects clients against losses from money the agency fails to account for. It remains continuous during the permit period and in effect until all collected money has been accounted for.
- Who needs it
- Collection agencies replacing domestic permit security with the North Carolina Department of Insurance. DOI defines domestic status by incorporation in North Carolina, not simply by the office mailing address. Match the permit holder and client-funds request rather than choosing a foreign or alien expense bond.
- Who it protects
- The principal and surety are jointly and severally liable to the State for the benefit of the people, firms and corporations whose accounts the agency collects. The accepted domestic model covers client losses from unaccounted money, subject to the applicable aggregate bond limit. It does not guarantee that every debt placed for collection will be recovered.

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
Must every replacement be $10,000?
No. That is the initial amount. Renewal security uses the statutory calculation, with a $10,000 minimum and $30,000 maximum. Confirm the current permit amount and calculation before ordering the replacement.
Does DOMESTIC mean the office is in North Carolina?
DOI defines domestic domicile by incorporation in North Carolina. Check the permit holder's classification rather than relying only on its street or mailing address.
Does the MAIL label prevent electronic filing?
The label identifies this purchase option. DOI's current renewal checklist accepts electronic copies by email or attachment to the renewal application. Confirm provider fulfillment and the route for your replacement; filing and written release of the previous surety are separate from checkout.
