About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the broker bond actually covers

New Jersey licenses insurance producers — agents and brokers — under the Insurance Producer Licensing Act of 2001 (N.J.S.A. 17:22A-26 et seq.), administered by the Department of Banking & Insurance. A producer acting in a broker capacity, especially a non-resident, may be required to file a surety bond as part of qualifying to place New Jersey business.

The bond is a compliance-and-accountability guarantee. It stands behind your obligation to handle premiums and client funds properly and to follow New Jersey producer law. If a broker mishandles money or violates the Act and a client or insurer is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

The broker bond is commonly $10,000, but the exact requirement and amount depend on your license type and filing — so confirm it with Banking & Insurance. Whatever amount applies, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
