Nevada requires every bail agent to file a surety bond with the Division of Insurance before licensing, in an amount the Commissioner of Insurance sets under NRS 697.190 — currently $25,000. Ours is $250 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information, so most agents approve instantly.
















A bail agent license bond is one of the simplest filings in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business and contact details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Bail agent 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 bail agent license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A bail agent transacts bail on behalf of a surety insurer, and Nevada conditions that license on a bond filed with the Division of Insurance. NRS 697.190 requires the bond to comply with NRS 679B.175 and to run in an amount the Commissioner determines — currently $25,000 for a bail agent.
The bond is conditioned on full accounting and payment to anyone entitled to it of money, property, or other matters that come into the agent's possession through bail bond transactions under the license. If an agent mishandles premiums, collateral, or client funds, a harmed party can bring a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for the agent — if the surety pays a claim, the agent repays the surety. The bond must stay in force for as long as the license is active, so we track the term and send renewal notices ahead of expiration.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
