About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A messenger and specialty delivery bond is a fidelity-style guarantee. Couriers carry documents, packages, and sometimes payments on behalf of customers, so Ogden wants a financial backstop that you'll handle them honestly and deliver as promised.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ogden (the obligee), with your customers protected. If your service violates the city's ordinance or mishandles entrusted items, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

No bond, no license. Ogden won't issue the license without it, so we issue the executed $1,000 bond ready to file and track renewals so your license stays current.
