The City of Ogden requires a $2,000 bond to license a precious metal purchaser. The bond backs your compliance with the city's transaction-record, holding-period, and seller-ID rules. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum premium — with no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit check section.
License bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Ogden business license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, but the $275 minimum applies, so it is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A precious metal purchaser bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. Buyers of gold, silver, and other precious metals handle goods that may be stolen, so Ogden wants a financial backstop that you'll keep transaction records, observe holding periods, and verify seller identity.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ogden (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the city's precious metal ordinance, a harmed party or the city can recover against the bond.
No bond, no license. Ogden won't issue the license without it, so we issue the executed $2,000 bond ready to file and track renewals so your license stays current.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
