To be certified as a soil profiler in Oklahoma, the Department of Environmental Quality requires a $25,000 bond naming you (not your business) as principal and DEQ as obligee. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every profiler.
















Certification bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, naming you as principal and DEQ as obligee, ready to submit with your certification application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Oklahoma's Department of Environmental Quality certifies soil profilers — the people who evaluate soil conditions to determine which on-site sewage treatment system a site can support. Certification is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond under the DEQ's on-site sewage rules.
The bond names you personally as principal (not your company) and DEQ as obligee. It backs your compliance with the certification regulations, so that the public has a source of compensation if a soil profiler's failure to follow the rules causes financial harm.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Profilers who follow the DEQ rules treat the bond as a certification formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your certification never lapses.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
