The City of Lincoln Park requires a $1,000 bond from solicitors and canvassers it licenses to work door to door. Three percent of $1,000 is below our floor, so the price is our $275 minimum — flat, with no credit check.
















A municipal license bond is among the simplest bonds we issue. Here is the whole process:
Business details and an effective date — that is the application. No financials and no credit-check section for this bond.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Lincoln Park solicitor’s or canvasser’s license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is under our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Multi-year if you want it.
The City of Lincoln Park licenses solicitors and canvassers — people who go door to door to take orders, raise funds, or canvass — and conditions that license on a $1,000 bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s solicitation ordinance and protects residents from fraud or misrepresentation.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lincoln Park (the obligee), with residents as the protected parties. If a licensed solicitor defrauds a resident or violates the City’s rules, the harmed resident can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. Honest solicitors treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
