What this bond does
Provide the continuous State contractor registration bond for the correct General or Specialty class.
- Who needs it
- Washington businesses matching their Department of Revenue identity, UBI and selected Specialty where applicable to L&I registration.
- Who it protects
- The actual continuous bond is payable to State of Washington and addresses statutory labor/benefits, contract-work claims, suppliers/equipment and State taxes/contributions under RCW 18.27.040. It has an aggregate limit; renewal does not reset that limit or make it a separate guarantee for every job.

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

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
Are the two provider choices divided into General and Specialty?
Their titles each include both classes. Select the required class and sum with the chosen provider.
Does E-Filed mean my full registration is already complete?
No. Confirm actual bond delivery and L&I acceptance, plus the separate registration application and insurance requirements.
Does renewal create a fresh aggregate bond limit?
The actual continuous form says continuation, reinstatement, reissue or renewal does not increase the surety's aggregate liability.
