Virginia Surety Bonds

Surety Bond Requirements in VA

The commonwealth of Virginia requires different kinds of surety bonds for certain professionals, contract workers, and companies to do business in the state. You must be bonded to be licensed as a motor vehicle dealer, mortgage broker, appraisal management company, public adjuster, or title insurance settlement agent.

All these bonds, along with licensing, are handled at the state level by various VA state agencies, which are listed in the bond descriptions below. Most VA surety bonds are set at a fixed coverage amount. An exception is the mortgage broker bond, which ranges from $25,000 to $150,000 based on your previous year’s loan volume.

If you need a surety bond to comply with Virginia bonding regulations, we can help. NNA Surety Bonds has been providing affordable coverage to companies and individuals across the United States since 1957.

Bond approval is subject to underwriting, meaning that applicants with excellent credit could pay a premium as low as 1%—or $1,000—per year of coverage.
