Montgomery PI bonds.
$250 flat.
The City of Montgomery requires every private investigator working in the city to file a $25,000 surety bond with the Montgomery Police Department as a condition of the city investigator license. Ours is $250 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A private investigator bond is a conduct guarantee. The City of Montgomery licenses investigators working in the city through the Montgomery Police Department, and conditions that license on a $25,000 surety bond so there is a financial backstop if an investigator violates city ordinance or state law in the course of the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Montgomery (the obligee), with members of the public as the protected parties. If an investigator causes harm by violating the rules that govern the license, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your city license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
