About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A third party administrator collects premiums or adjusts claims on behalf of insurers — handling other people's money. Georgia conditions an administrator license on a surety bond so that money is backstopped. The bond is a faithful-accounting guarantee that runs to anyone damaged by the administrator's fraud or misconduct.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee), with damaged parties as the protected beneficiaries. If an administrator fails to faithfully account for and apply the money it handles, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The statutory minimum is $100,000, but the bond must be at least 10% of the funds handled or managed annually — so a large administrator may be required to post more. The form here is written at the $100,000 floor; if the Office of Insurance set a higher figure for you, send it to us and we'll price that amount.

O.C.G.A. § 33-23-102Georgia's Licensing of Administrators article (O.C.G.A. §§ 33-23-100 through 33-23-105) conditions an administrator license on a surety bond filed with the Office of Commissioner of Insurance, in an amount of not less than 10% of the funds handled or managed annually and never less than $100,000, conditioned on faithful accounting and application of all money and inuring to the benefit of any person damaged by the administrator's fraudulent acts. Certain administrators are exempt from licensure under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-100 — confirm your status with the Office of Insurance.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.

The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

E-sign & file with the Office of Insurance. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your administrator license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance requires it as a condition of a third party administrator license under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-102. No active bond, no license.
Why is the amount $100,000?That is the statutory floor. The bond must be at least 10% of the funds you handle or manage annually, but never less than $100,000 — so a larger administrator may be required to post more. We default to the floor; send us a higher required figure and we price it.
Is there a credit check?Yes: one soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The price stays $1,000 either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your administrator license to stay valid.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
