About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma regulates the commercial mussel trade through the Department of Wildlife Conservation under the Wildlife Conservation Code (Title 29). Anyone who wants to buy, transport out of state, or export mussels must first hold a commercial mussel dealer license — and file a $5,000 surety bond with the Department.

The bond is conditioned on observance and compliance with the Wildlife Conservation Code, and is subject to forfeiture upon conviction of a violation of §4-129 or any Department resolution. It backs your promise to deal in mussels lawfully.

It is not insurance for you — if the bond is forfeited, you are responsible for the loss. Dealers who follow the harvest and trade rules treat the $5,000 bond as a license formality. We issue it at $100 flat, and no credit check.

29 O.S. §4-129Under 29 O.S. §4-129, a person who buys, transports out of state, or exports mussels must file a $5,000 surety bond with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, conditioned on observance and compliance with the Wildlife Conservation Code and subject to forfeiture upon conviction of a violation of the section or any Department resolution.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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 the Wildlife Department. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your commercial mussel dealer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
