What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A polygraph examiner bond is a public-protection guarantee. You administer lie-detection examinations that can affect employment and reputations, and Alabama wants a financial backstop standing behind your conduct as a licensed examiner.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the people you examine as the protected parties. Under § 34-25-21 the bond is conditioned to pay, up to its face amount, judgments recovered against the licensee for wrongful or illegal acts committed in the course of examinations.
The statute lets you satisfy this with a surety bond or an insurance policy of at least $5,000. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your filing stays continuous.
