The District of Columbia conditions a title insurance producer license on a surety bond filed with the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) — at least $200,000 under D.C. Code § 31-5041.02. The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — enter the amount DISB requires, complete the application, and your exact price appears in the calculator.
















No drawn-out broker process for the title producer bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with DISB. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount DISB requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The executed bond is generated once you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick underwriter review, but most clear fast.
Submit the executed bond with your title producer license application or financial-responsibility filing. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The District licenses title insurance producers through the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB). Under D.C. Code § 31-5041.02, a producer must demonstrate financial responsibility, and a surety bond of at least $200,000 is one piece of that requirement.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind how you handle escrow, settlement, and premium funds. If a producer mishandles closing money or violates DC title insurance law, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to its limit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the District (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. DISB separately expects an errors-and-omissions policy and a fidelity bond as part of the same financial-responsibility filing; confirm the exact figures on your DISB checklist.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section on this bond. Submit with the amount DISB requires and the executed bond is generated, ready to file.
