What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Kansas sells most hunting and fishing licenses through a network of license agents — retailers, bait shops, sporting goods stores, and outfitters appointed by the Department of Wildlife & Parks. When you sell a license you collect the state's fee on its behalf, and the department wants a guarantee that those fees come back to it.
Under K.S.A. 32-930, a license agent acts as a custodian of the money it collects and must account for and pay over the license fees. A surety bond is the financial backstop: if an agent keeps or loses fees that belong to the state, the department can recover against the bond.
Because the required amount scales with how many licenses you sell, there is no single statutory figure — the department sets it in your agent agreement. Enter that figure and we quote your price, starting from $100; no credit check up to $100,000. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety 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.
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
File with Wildlife & Parks. Submit the executed bond to the Department of Wildlife & Parks to finalize your license-agent agreement. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
