Missouri permit issuing agent bonds.
From $100.
If you sell hunting, fishing and trapping permits as an authorized agent of the Missouri Department of Conservation, the agreement requires a bond standing behind the permit money you collect on the state’s behalf. It is priced at 1% of your bond amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the permit-agent bond actually covers
The Missouri Department of Conservation authorizes private retailers — bait shops, sporting-goods stores, marinas, and similar vendors — to act as permit issuing agents, selling hunting, fishing and trapping permits at the point of sale. Conservation in Missouri is administered under the constitutional authority of the Conservation Commission and Chapter 252, RSMo.
Because an agent collects state permit money before remitting it, the agency conditions the appointment on a surety bond. The bond is a financial guarantee that you will account for and pay over the permit funds you collect — if an agent keeps or mishandles that money, the Department can recover against the bond.
The bond amount is set in your permit-agent agreement with the Department of Conservation rather than by a single statutory figure, so it scales with the volume the agency expects you to handle. Enter that figure at the application — it is priced at 1% of your bond amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information.
