About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the title agent bond actually guarantees

Nevada licenses title agents and title insurers through the Division of Insurance, and NRS 692A.1041 requires them to deposit a surety bond with the Insurance Commissioner. The bond backs the trust and escrow funds a title operation handles on behalf of buyers, sellers, and lenders in real estate closings.

The amount scales with your escrow activity: it is the greater of $20,000 or 2% of the average collected balance of the trust or escrow account the licensee maintains, with a $250,000 cap. The bond names the title agency, title insurer, and escrow agents as principals.

It is a consumer-protection guarantee: if a title agent or insurer mishandles escrow funds, commits fraud, or otherwise violates NRS Chapter 692A, a harmed party can recover against the bond. A licensee may instead deposit a substitute form of security with the Commissioner under NRS 692A.1042. We price the amount your balance requires from $100, with no credit check up to $10,000.

NRS 692A.1041 (Commissioner of Insurance)NRS 692A.1041 requires a title agent and title insurer to deposit a surety bond with the Commissioner of Insurance, naming the title agency, title insurer, and escrow agents as principals, in an amount equal to the greater of $20,000 or 2% of the average collected balance of the trust or escrow account the licensee maintains, not to exceed $250,000. NRS 692A.1042 allows a substitute form of security in lieu of the bond. Confirm your required amount with the Division of Insurance.

After you buy

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 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.

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

Issued on the spot. No credit check up to $10,000, and most applications approve instantly as soon as you pay. Above $10,000, a soft pull may add a short review.

What sets the price

The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount your escrow balance requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to deposit with the Commissioner.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nevada title agent bond?Premiums start from $100 and are priced by bond amount. The bond amount is the greater of $20,000 or 2% of your average collected escrow/trust balance under NRS 692A.1041, capped at $250,000. Enter your figure and your exact price appears at the application.
How do I calculate the bond amount?Take 2% of the average collected balance of your trust or escrow account; if that figure is below $20,000, the bond is $20,000, and it can never exceed $250,000. If your balance changes materially, the required amount changes with it.
Is there a credit check?No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score. Most applications approve instantly.
Can I deposit something other than a surety bond?Yes. NRS 692A.1042 lets a title agent or insurer deposit a substitute form of security with the Commissioner in lieu of the bond. A surety bond is usually cheaper — you pay the premium rather than tying up the full amount.
Where do I file it?With the Nevada Division of Insurance — the bond is deposited with the Insurance Commissioner. We provide the executed bond, naming the proper principals, ready to deposit.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
