MD security guard bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.

Maryland’s State Police no longer require a surety bond to license a security guard agency — since 2020 the requirement is commercial general liability insurance under § 19-504. A security-guard-agency bond today is usually a contractual, client, or legacy requirement, and we issue whatever amount you’re asked for at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Now a contractual, client, or legacy requirement — the State Police dropped the bond mandate in 2020

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the security-guard-agency bond actually covers

Maryland licenses security guard agencies through the Maryland State Police under the Maryland Security Guards Act (Business Occupations & Professions Title 19). As of 2020 the State Police no longer require a surety bond for the agency license — the requirement is commercial general liability insurance under § 19-504 instead.

So unlike most license bonds, a Maryland security-guard-agency bond is generally not a state mandate today. When an agency is asked for one now, it’s usually a contractual or client requirement — a corporate client, a guarding contract, or a counterparty that conditions work on a surety bond.

Because there’s no current statutory figure, the amount is whatever your contract or client names. The bond protects whoever required it against losses from the agency violating the terms of that engagement — enter that figure and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Md. Code, Business Occupations & Professions Title 19 (§ 19-504)Maryland security guard agencies are licensed by the Maryland State Police under the Maryland Security Guards Act (Business Occupations & Professions Title 19). As of 2020 the State Police no longer require a surety bond for the agency license — proof of commercial general liability insurance under § 19-504 is required instead. A security-guard-agency bond today is generally a contractual or client requirement rather than a state mandate; confirm the amount with whoever is requiring it.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Does Maryland require a security guard agency bond? +
Not as a state license requirement anymore — the Maryland State Police dropped the surety bond mandate for security guard agencies in 2020 in favor of commercial general liability insurance under § 19-504. A bond today is generally a contractual, client, or legacy requirement.
How much is it? +
A flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. Because there’s no current statutory amount, you enter whatever figure your contract or client asked for and the quote updates.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the security-guard-agency bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects whoever required it against losses if you violate the terms of the engagement that the bond backs. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
What amount should I choose if I’m not sure? +
Ask whoever is requiring the bond for the exact figure — there’s no statewide default since the State Police dropped the mandate. Send us the request and we’ll confirm.
