About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the consultant bond actually guarantees

A Maine insurance consultant is licensed to advise clients — for a fee, separate from selling a policy — on the benefits, terms, or coverage of their insurance. Because consultants are paid for advice that clients rely on, the Bureau of Insurance conditions the license on a bond.

Under 24-A M.R.S. §1464, every applicant must file with the license application, and maintain while licensed, a bond from an authorized surety continuous in form and providing aggregate liability of $20,000. It stands behind the consultant’s faithful, lawful conduct for the protection of clients and the public.

It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if a consultant violates the insurance code and a client is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond must stay continuous for the life of the license; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

24-A M.R.S. §1464 (Consultant’s bond)Under 24-A M.R.S. §1464, every applicant for an insurance consultant’s license must file with the application — and maintain in effect while licensed — a bond from an authorized surety, continuous in form, providing aggregate liability of $20,000. The application field is open-ended; the statutory figure is $20,000. Confirm your exact required amount with the Maine Bureau of Insurance before filing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Maine insurance consultant bond?The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The statute (24-A M.R.S. §1464) sets a $20,000 aggregate. Enter your exact figure and apply to see your exact price.

What amount should I enter?The statutory figure is $20,000 aggregate liability. The application field is open-ended, so enter the amount the Bureau of Insurance lists for your license — it’s $20,000 unless they tell you otherwise. Send us your application and we’ll confirm.

What does the bond guarantee?That you advise clients honestly and follow the Maine insurance code. If you violate it and a client is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. It never affects your credit score.

When does it renew?The bond is continuous in form and must stay in effect for as long as you hold the consultant license. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
