Wisconsin's Pharmacy Examining Board conditions a wholesale drug distributor license on a surety bond, and the standard amount most distributors file is $5,000 (on DSPS Form #2819). At 3% that comes to $150 — below our floor — so the price is our $275 minimum. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond (DSPS Form #2819) arrives by email, ready to submit with your wholesale distributor application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275 per term. Multi-year if you want it.
Wisconsin licenses prescription drug wholesale distributors through the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) and its Pharmacy Examining Board. The license is conditioned on a surety bond — a financial backstop for the state, not insurance for you.
The statute lets the board require a bond not to exceed $100,000, and the standard amount most distributors file is $5,000 on DSPS Form #2819. The bond secures payment of fees or costs related to your license that go unpaid for more than 30 days after they become final.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin (the obligee). Chain pharmacy warehouses engaged only in intracompany transfers are exempt. If your circumstances mean the board set a different amount, send us your application and we'll match it.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
