The City of Alamosa requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of a private-detective license. Ours is $300 flat — exactly 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every applicant. No credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit-check section for this bond.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Alamosa for your private-detective license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Alamosa licenses private detectives and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a client-protection guarantee: it stands behind your acting within the law and conducting investigations ethically, compensating clients for damage caused by misconduct.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alamosa (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. If a detective violates the law or harms a client through misconduct, the harmed client can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file for your private-detective license to stay valid.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
