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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Board. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to furnish to the Alabama Board of Polygraph Examiners with your license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
