About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A precious metals & gems dealer bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee to the City of New Brunswick. Dealers who buy gold, silver, jewelry, and gems from the public are licensed by the City, which conditions the license on the bond so it has a backstop that you will keep the required records, hold purchases for any inspection period, and follow the City’s dealer ordinance.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of New Brunswick (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the dealer ordinance — for instance, by failing to report purchases or mishandling stolen goods — a harmed party or the City can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
