Oklahoma abstractor bonds.
From $100.
Oklahoma abstractors and title agents file a surety bond with the Abstractors Board to obtain a certificate of authority, under the Oklahoma Abstractors Act (1 O.S. §1-27). The Board sets the amount — there is no single statutory figure — and premiums are 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. Your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the abstractor bond covers
Oklahoma regulates the people who compile abstracts of title and issue title insurance under the Oklahoma Abstractors Act (Title 1, O.S.), administered by the Abstractors Board. To hold a certificate of authority, abstractor license, or county records permit, you must file a surety bond with the Board under 1 O.S. §1-27.
The bond provides financial security for the enforcement of the licensing law — restitution to any party damaged if the abstractor or title agent commits fraud or engages in unfair business practices in preparing abstracts or handling title work. The Board may also accept a personal bond in the form of cash or a certificate of deposit endorsed to the Board.
Because the amount is set by the Abstractors Board rather than fixed in statute, we don't quote a single number — you enter the figure the Board assigned to your certificate, and we issue that bond with premiums from $100. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
