What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey licenses elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics through a board in the Division of Consumer Affairs, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-safety and consumer-protection guarantee behind the vertical-transportation work you install, maintain, and repair.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Jersey (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a mechanic's negligence, misconduct, or failure to comply with licensing requirements causes financial loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond — up to the $10,000 limit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.

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 $10,000 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 your license. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Division of Consumer Affairs license application or renewal — electronically through the licensing portal or by mail. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
