About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Utah regulates immigration consultants under the Immigration Consultants Registration Act (Utah Code Title 13, Chapter 49), enforced by the Division of Consumer Protection (DCP). To register, a consultant must post a $50,000 bond — it is a consumer-protection guarantee for the people who rely on immigration help.

The bond is payable to the Division for the benefit of any person damaged by a consultant’s fraud, misstatement, misrepresentation, unlawful act, omission, or failure to provide services — including acts by the consultant’s agents or employees. It is conditioned on the consultant’s faithful compliance with the Act and DCP rules.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For a consultant who follows the Act and serves clients honestly, the bond is a registration formality, not a risk.

Utah Code § 13-49-201 (Immigration Consultants Registration Act)Utah Code § 13-49-201, within the Immigration Consultants Registration Act, requires an immigration consultant to post a $50,000 cash or surety bond payable to the Division of Consumer Protection for the benefit of any person damaged by the consultant’s fraud, misrepresentation, unlawful act, omission, or failure to provide services. The bond is conditioned on faithful compliance with the Act and Division rules.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $50,000? +
No. You pay $1,500 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $50,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Division and damaged consumers; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Utah Division of Consumer Protection requires it to register as an immigration consultant, under Utah Code § 13-49-201. No active bond, no registration.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects clients damaged by a consultant’s fraud, misrepresentation, unlawful act, omission, or failure to provide services. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your registration to stay valid.
