About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Hampshire Fish and Game appoints license agents — town clerks, sporting-goods stores, bait shops — to sell hunting and fishing licenses on its behalf under RSA 214-A. When you collect license fees, that money belongs to the state, so the Department conditions your agency on a bond.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Hampshire (the obligee). The bond guarantees you account for and remit the license money you collect. If an agent keeps or fails to remit those funds, the state can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Agents who remit on schedule treat the bond as an appointment formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your agency stays continuous.

RSA 214-A (Fish and Game Agents)New Hampshire RSA 214-A governs Fish and Game license agents — individuals and businesses authorized to issue the Department's licenses, tags, and permits. License agents collect state license money and post a surety bond running to the State of New Hampshire to guarantee that money is accounted for and remitted; the amount for agents selling hunting and fishing licenses is set at $10,000. Confirm the exact figure on your agent agreement.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the New Hampshire fishing and hunting license agent bond?The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier for this specific bond, the same for every agent. The $10,000 is the standard amount for selling hunting and fishing licenses, so there is no quote process — the price you see is the checkout price.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if you fail to remit the license money you collect — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Why does Fish and Game require it?Because you collect state license fees on the Department's behalf under RSA 214-A. The bond guarantees you account for and remit that money. If you don't, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section at all. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the agent appointment. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your agency never lapses over a missed email.
