How to Get Bonded

A simple four-step path from application to same-day issuance.

Getting bonded is fast. First, find the exact bond your state or agency requires. Next, complete a short online application with your business details. We run a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score.

Most applications are approved instantly. Once approved, you pay your premium securely online and receive your bond — often the same day. Cases that need manual underwriting are usually completed within 24 hours.

Step 1: Find the right bond

Your state agency, city, or court will name the exact bond and amount you need. Browse our catalog by state or bond type, or contact us and we will identify the correct bond for you so you are not over- or under-bonded.

Step 2: Apply online

Complete a short application with your business and contact details. The form takes only a few minutes, and you can save and resume if you need to gather information.

Step 3: Soft credit check and approval

We use a soft credit pull to review your application, which does not affect your credit score. Most applications are approved instantly; cases that need manual underwriting are typically completed within 24 hours.

Step 4: Pay and get bonded

Once approved, pay your premium securely online and download your bond — often the same day. You are then ready to file it with the agency that required it.
