About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A public adjuster negotiates insurance claims on behalf of policyholders, and Idaho wants a financial backstop that the adjuster handles those claims and that money honestly. Under Idaho Code §41-5812, every public adjuster must obtain and maintain a surety bond of at least $20,000 (or an irrevocable letter of credit) in favor of the state.

The bond authorizes recovery by the Department of Insurance on behalf of any Idaho person harmed by an adjuster's erroneous acts, failure to act, or conviction of fraud or unfair practices in the capacity of a public adjuster. It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Idaho, with harmed clients as the protected parties.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license, and it cannot be terminated without at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Department. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Idaho public adjuster bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, $275 minimum. The statutory minimum bond is $20,000, which is $600. Enter your required amount and the quote updates.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay the premium — $600 on the standard $20,000 bond. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Idaho Department of Insurance, as a condition of a public adjuster license under Idaho Code §41-5812. It applies to residents and non-residents alike. You can also satisfy it with an irrevocable letter of credit, but a surety bond is usually far cheaper.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. The application has no credit section.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license, and it cannot be cancelled without 30 days' written notice to the Department. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
