Missouri employment agency bonds.
$100 flat.
Missouri repealed its statewide employment-agency licensing law in 1999, so a $5,000 employment-agency bond today is generally a legacy, contractual, or local requirement rather than a current state mandate. If you've been asked for the $5,000 bond, ours is $100 flat, and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Missouri once licensed private employment agencies and conditioned the license on a surety bond, but the state repealed that licensing chapter (Chapter 289, RSMo) effective August 28, 1999. There is no longer a statewide employment-agency license or bond mandate in Missouri.
So when an employment or staffing agency is asked for a $5,000 bond today, it's generally a legacy, contractual, or local requirement — a client, a contract, a municipal ordinance, or an out-of-state obligee that still references the old figure. The bond protects whoever required it against losses from the agency violating the terms of that arrangement.
We'll be straight with you: if you're not sure this bond is actually required, ask whoever is requesting it for the exact citation before you buy. If it is required at the standard $5,000, we issue it at $100 flat, and the application collects no credit information — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
