How much does a Nevada pharmaceutical wholesaler bond cost?
$250 at the $25,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps. One sitting.
A wholesaler bond in the $25,000 tier is about as simple as surety gets — no financial statements, no credit check, no broker phone tag. Here is the whole process:
Apply online
Entity type, business address, owner and contact details, an effective date, and your Board application or license number if you already have one. That is the entire application.
Pay & e-sign
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase, and no credit check.
File with the Board of Pharmacy
Your executed $25,000 bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to attach to your wholesale distribution license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the Board insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the wholesaler bond actually guarantees
The Nevada State Board of Pharmacy licenses the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, and NRS 639.515 conditions that license on a bond filed with the Board before it issues. The statute sets a range rather than a number — not less than $25,000 and not more than $100,000, as the Board determines — so two distributors operating out of the same warehouse district can carry very different penal sums.
NAC 639.5937 is what pins this page to $25,000. Unless the Board requires otherwise, a wholesaler files $25,000 if it is (a) accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy under the Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors program, (b) a manufacturer of prescription drugs, or (c) a facility that distributes prescription drugs made by a single manufacturer. Everyone else negotiates a figure with the Board, and larger multi-site distributors typically land at the $100,000 end.
What the bond secures is narrower than most license bonds. NRS 639.515 makes it security for fines the Board imposes under NRS 639.255, and for costs assessed under NRS 622.400 or 622.410, that a licensee fails to pay within 30 days of the amount becoming due. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Two escape hatches are worth knowing: a publicly traded corporation is not required to file at all, and once a subsection-1 wholesaler has been licensed with the Board for 5 consecutive years, NAC 639.5937 has the Board reduce the security to $5,000.

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 Board of Pharmacy. Your executed $25,000 bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to attach to your wholesale distribution license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the Board insists.
