About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alabama’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) sells hunting and fishing licenses through appointed agents — usually sporting-goods stores, bait shops, and similar retailers. Because those agents collect license fees that belong to the state, DCNR conditions the appointment on a $10,000 surety bond.

The bond is a collection-and-remittance guarantee: it stands behind your duty to account for every license you issue and to remit the fees you collect to the Department. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Alabama (the obligee).

If an agent fails to remit collected license fees or otherwise violates the license-agent rules, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Agents who account for their sales treat the bond as a routine appointment formality.

Code of Alabama, Title 9, Chapter 11Alabama hunting and fishing license sales agents are appointed and regulated by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources under Code of Alabama 1975, Title 9 (Conservation and Natural Resources), Chapter 11 (Fish, Game and Wildlife). A $10,000 surety bond is required as a condition of the license-sales-agent appointment, securing the agent’s collection and remittance of license fees to the state. Confirm the current amount and form with DCNR.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
