What it is and who needs it.
What the seller-of-travel bond covers
Washington regulates sellers of travel under chapter 19.138 RCW. A seller who holds funds received for retail travel services for more than five business days must protect that money — either by keeping it in a trust account or, under RCW 19.138.140, by filing a surety bond with the Department of Licensing.
The bond names the State of Washington as obligee for the benefit of any person who suffers a monetary loss from the seller violating chapter 19.138 RCW or its rules. It is conditioned that the seller will conform to the chapter and reimburse anyone harmed — a consumer-protection guarantee for the people who prepay for travel.
The amount is set by rule on a tiered basis: not less than $10,000 nor more than $50,000, based on the gross income of business conducted with Washington residents in the prior year. Enter the figure your tier requires — pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
