Delaware requires every public adjuster to file a fixed $20,000 bond with the Insurance Commissioner — ours is $600 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















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, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Insurance Commissioner license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A public adjuster bond is a policyholder-protection guarantee. You negotiate insurance claims on behalf of people who've just had the worst week of their year — Delaware wants a financial backstop that you'll handle their claims and their money honestly.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Delaware (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. The bond runs in favor of the State and lets the Commissioner recover damages if a licensee is found to have committed fraud or unfair practices as a public adjuster.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Under the statute a license terminates automatically when the bond is no longer in force, and the surety must give at least 30 days' notice before cancelling — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
