What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Hampshire licenses traveling sellers — hawkers and peddlers — under RSA 320, with state licenses issued by the Secretary of State. When the applicant is not a natural person (a corporation or other entity), RSA 320:8 requires a $5,000 deposit with the Secretary of State, in cash or a surety bond.
The deposit covers the corporation and its employees or agents who sell under the license. It stands behind their compliance with the hawker/peddler law and protects the public and the state against losses from violations.
The bond must remain effective for at least 60 days after the annual renewal date, and the licensee files written proof it's in force. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track your bond and notify you well ahead of the renewal date.
