About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alabama's Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code §8-19A-1 et seq.) requires any organization, institution, or person engaged in commercial telephone solicitation to be licensed by the Attorney General's Office. As a financial requirement of that license, §8-19A-10 conditions licensure on a $50,000 bond (or an equivalent letter of credit or certificate of deposit).

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee, conditioned on the licensee's compliance with the Telemarketing Act. If a telemarketer violates the chapter and causes a loss, the harmed party — or the state — can recover against the bond, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $50,000 is a statutory minimum; some applicants post more. We issue the $50,000 bond at a flat 3% with no credit check, and the bond must stay on file for the life of your telemarketing license.

Ala. Code §8-19A-10 (Alabama Telemarketing Act)Ala. Code 1975 §8-19A-10 sets the financial requirements under the Alabama Telemarketing Act: a commercial telephone solicitor licensed by the Attorney General under §8-19A-5 must post a surety bond, letter of credit, or certificate of deposit of at least $50,000, conditioned on compliance with the chapter. Confirm the current amount on your Commercial Telephone Sales License application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alabama telemarketer bond? +
The premium is $1,500 — a flat 3% of the $50,000 bond required by Ala. Code §8-19A-10. The $50,000 is a statutory minimum, so for the standard filing there is no quote process.
Who requires this bond? +
The Alabama Attorney General's Office, as a financial requirement of the Commercial Telephone Sales License under the Telemarketing Act. No bond, no license.
Can I use a CD or letter of credit instead? +
Yes — §8-19A-10 accepts a surety bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a certificate of deposit of at least $50,000. A surety bond is usually cheapest: you pay the $1,500 premium rather than tying up $50,000 in cash.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. We issue the $50,000 telemarketer bond with no credit pull.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the telemarketing license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
