The City of Fremont conditions a solicitor (door-to-door) license on a $2,000 surety bond filed with the City. At 3% that would be $60 — but our minimum is $275 flat, the same for everyone. The application is five minutes, and city license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















City license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
City 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 City of Fremont solicitor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, but the $275 minimum applies — $275 one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Fremont licenses door-to-door solicitors and peddlers, and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest dealing with residents and your compliance with the city's solicitation rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fremont (the obligee), with residents and consumers as the protected parties. If a solicitor defrauds a resident or violates the licensing rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can act against the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $2,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
