716 bonds · page 1 of 12

Purpose

A license or registration obligation follows the contractor’s legal identity and licensed activities. A construction-related form can support a license, secure a defined project promise, or address restoration after work.

Who needs it

Contractors, qualifying individuals, developers, and permit applicants with a written bonding request.

Who it protects

A license bond is not automatically a performance or payment bond. The obligee and written obligation determine whose interest is protected.

Before you buy

  1. Bring the registration or license request and exact business name.
  2. Bring the license or permit request and any required bond form.
  3. Identify the legal business, qualifying person, trade, and project address where applicable.

Common questions

Is the requesting body asking for license security or project performance?

Bring the registration or license request and exact business name. Compare that information with the exact capacity, activity and obligee named in the written request. Similar catalog labels do not establish an interchangeable form.

Is a type guide the bond I should purchase?

A type guide explains the activity. Choose a jurisdiction-associated parent listing and compare its actual source options with your written requirement; the type page is not a purchasable form.
