What this bond does
The State Board of Auctioneer Examiners lists its $5,000 personal-coverage form for apprentice auctioneers as well as auctioneers and trading assistants. Do not assume the sponsor's or company's bond substitutes for the apprentice's personal filing.
- Who needs it
- A person preparing apprentice auctioneer license security. The Board describes an apprentice as sponsored and employed for compensation by a qualified auctioneer to learn the profession.
- Who it protects
- The personal form secures observance of the applicable laws and Board rules, with the stated enforcement rights under the Act. It is not a guarantee of the apprentice's wages, training quality or future qualification for a full auctioneer license.

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
Can I rely on the sponsor's or company's bond?
Do not assume it substitutes for the apprentice's request. The Board lists the personal form for apprentices and a separate corporate form. Match the individual applicant and current instructions.
Does the two-year apprenticeship mean this choice selects a two-year bond?
No. The snapshot's training period and auction participation concern progression to an auctioneer license. The personal form continues until written surety cancellation notification, and this catalog option displays no selectable duration.
Does the bond let me work as an independent full auctioneer?
No. The Board describes the apprentice as sponsored and employed by a qualified auctioneer. Security does not replace that status or prove the separate qualifications for a full auctioneer license.
