About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alabama's Telemarketing Act (Ala. Code §8-19A-1 et seq.) requires any organization, institution, or person engaged in commercial telephone solicitation to be licensed by the Attorney General's Office. As a financial requirement of that license, §8-19A-10 conditions licensure on a $50,000 bond (or an equivalent letter of credit or certificate of deposit).

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee, conditioned on the licensee's compliance with the Telemarketing Act. If a telemarketer violates the chapter and causes a loss, the harmed party — or the state — can recover against the bond, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $50,000 is a statutory minimum; some applicants post more. We issue the $50,000 bond at $500 flat, and the application collects no credit information; the bond must stay on file for the life of your telemarketing license.

Ala. Code §8-19A-10 (Alabama Telemarketing Act)Ala. Code 1975 §8-19A-10 sets the financial requirements under the Alabama Telemarketing Act: a commercial telephone solicitor licensed by the Attorney General under §8-19A-5 must post a surety bond, letter of credit, or certificate of deposit of at least $50,000, conditioned on compliance with the chapter. Confirm the current amount on your Commercial Telephone Sales License application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Alabama telemarketer bond?The premium is $500 flat for the $50,000 bond required by Ala. Code §8-19A-10 — set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond. The $50,000 is a statutory minimum, so for the standard filing there is no quote process.
Who requires this bond?The Alabama Attorney General's Office, as a financial requirement of the Commercial Telephone Sales License under the Telemarketing Act. No bond, no license.
Can I use a CD or letter of credit instead?Yes — §8-19A-10 accepts a surety bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a certificate of deposit of at least $50,000. A surety bond is usually cheapest: you pay the $500 premium rather than tying up $50,000 in cash.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all — most telemarketer applications approve instantly on that basis. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it's a soft pull only and never affects your score.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the telemarketing license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
