What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma licenses electrical contractors through the Construction Industries Board (CIB) under the Electrical License Act (Title 59, O.S.). Every active contractor — the license type permitting you to enter into contracts and pull permits — must file a $5,000 license bond with the CIB Bonds and Insurance Unit.
The bond is conditioned on the faithful and lawful performance of the work you take on in Oklahoma. It runs for the benefit of any person injured or suffering financial loss because the work was not performed as the law requires — so it is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee, not insurance for you.
It must stay continuous to keep your active license valid, and it carries a 30-day cancellation notice. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses on a missed email.

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.
