Three steps to bonded.
Your Intermediate license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
A $60,000 performance bond gets underwriting attention; if anything is needed, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
North Carolina licenses electrical contractors through the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors (NCBEEC). An Intermediate license permits a single electrical project of a value up to $150,000, and the Board requires the applicant to demonstrate bonding ability: that they can obtain a $60,000 performance bond.
A performance bond guarantees the completion of the work you contract for. If a bonded project is left unfinished and the project owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you; it backs your performance.
Many applicants satisfy the requirement with a Statement of Bonding Ability rather than a posted bond. If you need an actual $60,000 performance bond filed, this is it at $300 — and if the Board accepts a statement of bonding ability instead, tell us and we'll point you the right way.

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 $60,000 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
E-sign & file with the Board. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with the NC Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $300 at the $60,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. A $60,000 bond gets a quick review; expect issuance within 1–2 business days.
