Idaho requires every public adjuster — resident or non-resident — to maintain a $20,000 minimum bond in favor of the state, filed with the Department of Insurance under Idaho Code §41-5812. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the standard $20,000 bond is $600.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Insurance. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount (the $20,000 minimum unless told otherwise), 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 public adjuster license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. The standard $20,000 bond is $600 — enter your figure and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with your bond amount — the executed public adjuster bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Department of Insurance.
