Oklahoma's CLEET conditions licensure on a surety bond — a $5,000 minimum for unarmed security guards and self-employed private investigators who employ no other investigators, under 59 O.S. § 1750.5. Ours is $275 flat, the $275 minimum since 3% of $5,000 is less.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your CLEET license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, but our minimum premium is $275 — so it is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Oklahoma licenses security guards and private investigators through the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET). Under 59 O.S. § 1750.5, the minimum bond is $5,000 for unarmed security guards and self-employed private investigators who employ no other investigators. The bond guarantees you will abide by the provisions of the licensing act.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oklahoma (the obligee). If a licensee violates the act and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
Armed guards, agencies, and PIs who employ other investigators carry higher coverage — this $5,000 bond is the unarmed, self-employed level. Before the bond can be canceled, the surety must give CLEET at least 10 days' notice, so we track it and notify you ahead of renewal.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
