Idaho requires a managing general agent (MGA) to maintain a surety bond with the Department of Insurance — $5,000 or 10% of the funds handled in the prior year, whichever is greater. Whatever that figure is, we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard MGA bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Insurance. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount your prior-year funds require, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your MGA appointment paperwork. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. The amount is the greater of $5,000 or 10% of prior-year funds handled — enter it and the premium updates.
A managing general agent is a person or firm that manages all or part of an insurer's business in Idaho — including binding or placing business and handling premium funds. Idaho regulates MGAs under Title 41, Chapter 15, and the Department of Insurance conditions the arrangement on a surety bond for the insurer's protection.
The bond amount is the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the total funds the MGA handled in the preceding year, so it scales with the size of your book. (MGAs also typically hold a property-and-casualty producer license and carry errors-and-omissions coverage — separate requirements from this bond.)
The bond stands behind your honest handling of the insurer's funds and your compliance with the MGA statute. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Enter your required amount and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
