WHAT IS A
LICENSE BOND?
FISHING
If you plan to start issuing fishing licenses through
your business, then your state may require you to
obtain a fishing license bond.
A fishing license is a type of surety bond that
provides assurance to the state that your business
will comply with all regulations and pay all taxes
and fees on time.

3 PARTIES INVOLVED
There are three entities involved in the surety bond process.
The principal is the person or business that needs
to obtain the fishing license bond.
The surety is the underwriter, providing the
financial backing for the principal.
The obligee is the agency that requires a principal
to purchase a fishing license bond.

HOW DOES THIS
BOND WORK?
If your business fails to meet the requirements of the
bond, then the state may file a claim against the bond.
The surety company will investigate the claim and
determine if paying the claim is necessary.
If they do, then the principal will need to reimburse
the surety company for the amount paid out to the
obligee.

HOW MUCH DOES
THIS BOND COST?
Each state sets its personal regulations and
requirements for fishing license bonds.
Because of this, the cost of a surety bond premium
varies.
You will be required to renew your fishing license
bond each year or risk losing your license to sell
fishing licenses through your business.
