About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kansas licenses private detectives and detective agencies through the Office of the Attorney General under K.S.A. 75-7b01 et seq. The statute conditions licensure on proof of financial responsibility — a surety bond together with commercial liability insurance — so there is a financial backstop standing behind your investigative work.

The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee), with harmed members of the public as the protected parties. If a detective's conduct violates the licensing act and harms someone, the harmed person can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Kansas's statutory figures have shifted over time, and the bond and the required liability-insurance limits are not the same number. This product is the $100,000 detective-agency bond. Before you buy, confirm with the Attorney General's licensing unit that $100,000 is the amount your specific license requires — send us your application and we'll match it.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $100,000? +
No. You pay $3,000 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Kansas Office of the Attorney General requires proof of financial responsibility — a surety bond and liability insurance — as a condition of a private detective or detective agency license under K.S.A. 75-7b01 et seq.
How do I know $100,000 is the right amount? +
Kansas's bond and insurance figures differ and have changed over time, so confirm the exact bond amount on your license application with the Attorney General's licensing unit. This product is the $100,000 detective-agency bond — send us your application and we'll make sure it matches before you buy.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your license to stay valid.
