Our new client, Jonah, contacted us recently to purchase a title agency bond. He appreciated the excellent customer service he received and our fast application process. He completed his license application promptly with his bond in hand. Today, Jonah runs a thriving title agency in Miami.

Florida requires title agents to obtain a license to perform their business activities. This requirement extends to those who provide closing services. Under Florida Statutes, the closing services include: 
 

• Conducting the closing process
• Closing the transaction
• Disbursing funds in the transaction
• Issuing title insurance

The Florida Department of Financial Services oversees title agency licensing, which requires a $35,000 surety bond for each title insurer, with the department listed as the obligee.

The bond remains effective until it is canceled by the surety. The surety must provide a 30-day written notice to the principal and the obligee prior to canceling the bond. 

While the bond does not need to be renewed with the state, the premium must be paid annually to remain valid. We will contact you prior to each premium due date with payment instructions.

To operate a Florida title agency, a state license is required. The requirements to obtain a title agency license include:
 

• Online Application
• $35,000 surety bond
• Fingerprints of the majority owner, partner, officer or director of the business
• Fees Payment

A Title Agency might also need to secure a Fidelity Bond in the amount of $50,000 acceptable to the insurer appointing the agency.
