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.

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 $50,000 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

E-sign & file with the Division of Consumer Protection. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your immigration consultant registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued instantly.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay $500 — the price you see is the checkout price. 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, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval; the price stays $500 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.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
