What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Mexico's Weights and Measures Law is enforced by the Department of Agriculture, which registers the service establishments that install, service, repair, and recondition commercial scales, meters, and pumps. A full-service establishment — one that works on devices it does not own — must post a $1,000 surety bond for faithful performance of duty.
The bond is payable to the State of New Mexico and guarantees that the establishment performs its weighing-and-measuring-device work honestly and competently, so that commercial measurements the public relies on are accurate. A limited-service establishment, working only on devices it owns, does not need the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the $1,000 bond at $125 flat; no credit check, and we track it so your registration 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 $1,000 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.
