What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Division of Insurance. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
