Insurance intermediaries, adjusters, and other professionals responding to a licensing or contract requirement.

Who it protects

A professional’s bond is different from errors and omissions insurance and from the insurance policy sold to a customer.

Before you buy

  1. Bring the notice and identify the licensed applicant.
  2. Identify the licensed capacity and the business or individual holding it.
  3. Describe premium, settlement, or fiduciary funds handled.

Common questions

What surplus-lines duty does the requesting authority specify?

Bring the notice and identify the licensed applicant. 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.
