Alaska requires every appraisal management company to file a fixed $50,000 bond to register with the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing — ours is $500 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Registration bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration or renewal at the Division. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An appraisal management company bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. Your AMC manages a panel of appraisers and orders valuations for lenders — Alaska wants a financial backstop that you'll follow appraisal management law and deal honestly with appraisers and the public.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alaska (the obligee), with appraisers and harmed parties protected. If an AMC commits an act of malfeasance or misfeasance in conducting appraisal management operations, a party with a valid cause of action can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay in place for as long as you're registered. Let it lapse and your registration can be affected — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't have one.
