What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Illinois regulates non-attorney immigration service providers under Section 2AA of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505/2AA), with rules at 14 Ill. Adm. Code 485. Providers who are not licensed attorneys or accredited nonprofit representatives must register with the Attorney General.
As a condition of registration, a provider must continuously carry either $100,000 of malpractice insurance or a $100,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs the people who pay for immigration help against fraud, mishandled funds, or violations of the Act.
The bond must stay in place while you operate — and the statute requires it to continue for two years after you stop providing services. We track it and send renewal notices so your registration never lapses. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
