What information do I need to apply for a surety bond?

You'll typically need to provide:

Contact and business information
Type and amount of bond required
Personal and business financial information
Social Security number for credit check
Details about your business operations

For larger bond amounts or construction bonds, you may need to provide additional financial statements, business financials, RFP documents, bank references, and management experience details.

How long does it take to get a surety bond?

Many license and permit bonds can be approved instantly online. After approval and payment, most bonds are issued immediately via a download of a PDF document.

Certain bonds recorded at the county level require original documentation from NNA Surety Bonds (wet signatures and a notarization), and these bond forms are mailed to you upon purchase. Complex bonds requiring underwriting review may take longer depending on the documentation needed.

Does applying for a bond affect my credit score?

NNA Surety Bonds performs a soft credit inquiry for certain bond applications, which does not affect your credit score.

What is an Indemnity Agreement?

An Indemnity Agreement is a legal document you sign when obtaining a surety bond. It guarantees that you will reimburse the surety company for any valid claims paid on your behalf, including all associated costs and legal fees.

This agreement outlines your obligations and responsibilities as the principal under the bond. Typically, all owners of a company and their spouses are required to sign the indemnity agreement prior to a bond being issued.
