How Much Does a California Immigration Consultant Bond Cost?

The cost of a California immigration consultant bond is between $1,000 to $10,000. The state requires immigration consultants to have a $100,000 surety bond. However, you do not need to pay the bond’s full penal sum to meet the state’s requirement when you buy your bond from us. 

As an authorized surety company serving California, we provide immigration consultant bonds at a bond premium rate of 1% to 10%. We have been serving our valued customers for over a decade with our easy process, and we proudly meet the bond needs of over 99% of our applicants.

Your California immigration consultant bond rate is based on factors like your credit scores, professional resume and financial strength. All credit scores are considered, and a score of 700 or higher qualifies you for a 1% to 3% rate. For this score, the bond will cost between $1,000 and $3,000.

Immigration Consultant Bond Requirements in California

Under Section 22443.1 of the Business and Professions Code, individuals who are required to register in California as an immigration consultant must file a surety bond. This bond, in the amount of $100,000, must be filed with the Secretary of State.
