You do need the bond to obtain a public-adjuster or title license, whether you are a resident or non-resident applicant.
However, you must obtain your bond prior to placing business.
You don't need the bond to obtain a resident producer or surplus lines broker license.
Is a bond required before the OIC will issue my license? However, you must retain them in your records and make them available if we request them. Bonds do not need to be filed with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC). Do I have to file my bond with your office? Remember, the bond requirement applies only to resident producer and surplus line broker licensees or all public-adjuster and title-business licensees. If neither of the above applies, you must obtain an individual bond. If you belong to an association, the association may carry the bond for the members of the association. If you are affiliated with a business entity (BE), the BE may carry the bond for your producer license.
All public adjuster and title business licensees must have a bond, whether a resident or non-resident.
Non-resident producer or surplus line broker licensees are not required to have a bond.
If you place business with a company that hasn't appointed your license, you'll need to make sure you have a bond in place before you do.
