How to Get a Surety Bond in Washington State
-
Determine the type of bond you need
To determine which surety bond you need in Washington State, you should consider the specific requirements for your profession or situation. There are three main types of surety bonds in Washington State:
- License and Permit Bonds: These are required for many professions to operate legally, such as contractors, motor vehicle dealers, and mortgage brokers. You are required to produce one of these bonds as part of the process of obtaining an auto dealer license or contractor license in Washington.
- Contract Bonds: These are required for public construction projects and are typically required by cities or municipalities rather than the state. Contract bonds may include bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds.
- Court Bonds: These may be required by the courts for various purposes, such as appealing a court decision, becoming a legal guardian of a minor, or operating as a fiduciary of an estate.
