What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Georgia insurance counselor is licensed to advise clients on insurance for a fee, and the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a client-protection guarantee: it stands behind your faithful performance of the services you’re engaged to provide.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. If a counselor violates the insurance laws or fails to perform contracted services, a harmed client can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for the life of your license; we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses over a missed email.
