When an Illinois insurance producer or business entity handles client premiums and must post a fiduciary bond, the amount is $2,500 or 5% of the premiums you brokered last year, whichever is greater, capped at $50,000. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; a quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score.
















A quick soft credit check may apply for the standard producer bond — enter your amount, pay, and file. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount your premiums require, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applications approve instantly — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. A quick soft credit check never affects your score. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond where the Department of Insurance directs for your producer or business entity license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Illinois licenses insurance producers under the Insurance Code (215 ILCS 5). When a producer or business entity holds client premium money in a fiduciary capacity — including surplus line producers — Section 500-130 conditions the license on a continuous bond standing behind those funds.
The bond is conditioned on full accounting and due payment of premium funds that come into the producer's hands. If a producer collects a premium and fails to remit it to the company or person entitled to it, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The amount is $2,500 or 5% of the premiums you brokered in the prior calendar year, whichever is greater, capped at $50,000. A business entity can satisfy the requirement with a bond in the entity's name. Enter your figure — the premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum, and a quick soft credit check may apply.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed producer bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
