NJ public adjuster bonds.
$100 flat.

New Jersey requires every public adjuster to file a fixed $10,000 bond with the Department of Banking and Insurance — ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A public adjuster bond is a policyholder-protection guarantee. You negotiate insurance claims on behalf of people who've just had the worst week of their year — New Jersey wants a financial backstop that you'll handle their claims and their money honestly.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Jersey (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. If an adjuster commits fraud, mishandles client funds, or otherwise violates the public adjuster law, the harmed insured can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and you can be referred for action against the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.

N.J.S.A. 17:22B-12New Jersey conditions a public adjuster license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance under N.J.S.A. 17:22B-12, in the penal sum of ten thousand dollars applicable to the licensee and any temporary sublicensees named in or sponsored under the license. Confirm the amount on your DOBI application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the New Jersey public adjuster bond?The premium is $100 flat — the same for every adjuster, set by our carrier's rate book. The $10,000 bond amount is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many adjusters finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond — there's no credit section to fill out. Most applications approve instantly; small fixed-amount license bonds like this one rarely need anything beyond the application itself.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
