About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Delaware licenses electricians through the Board of Electrical Examiners under Title 24, Chapter 14 of the Delaware Code. Where a $1,000 bond is part of that filing, it is a compliance guarantee — a financial backstop that you will perform electrical work in line with the law and the terms of your license.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the obligee that requires the bond. If you violate the conditions the bond covers and someone is harmed, that party can recover against the bond up to $1,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Electricians who keep good practices treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. Confirm the exact bond requirement on your application, and we'll issue it.

Title 24, Chapter 14 (Board of Electrical Examiners)Delaware electricians are licensed by the Board of Electrical Examiners under Title 24, Chapter 14 of the Delaware Code. A $1,000 surety bond is associated with this electrician filing; the obligee and exact conditions are named on the bond form. Confirm the requirement on your application or send it to us and we will confirm the amount.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Delaware master electrician bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. The bond amount is a fixed $1,000, and 3% of $1,000 is only $30, which is below our floor, so the price is $275. Same number for every applicant.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond stays active for as long as your license requires it. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
