About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Jersey licenses elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics through a board in the Division of Consumer Affairs, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-safety and consumer-protection guarantee behind the vertical-transportation work you install, maintain, and repair.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Jersey (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a mechanic's negligence, misconduct, or failure to comply with licensing requirements causes financial loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond — up to the $10,000 limit.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.

N.J.A.C. 13:44M (Division of Consumer Affairs licensing board)Elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics are licensed by a board in the Division of Consumer Affairs under rules at N.J.A.C. 13:44M, which require a $10,000 surety bond for licensure. Confirm the current bond amount and form on your application — we issue on the form the board requires.
