How to Get a Washington Surety Bond

Getting your Washington surety bond goes through the following three stages.

Apply For Your Bond

To begin the bonding process, complete the online application form. You’ll need to provide basic information about the type of bond that you need and its amount.

Get a Bond Rate

As soon as we receive your application, we will begin processing it and looking for the lowest possible rate at which you can get bonded. We will then contact you with a free quote on your bond along with further information about completing the bonding process.

Buy Your Bond

All that’s left is for you to pay your bond premium and you will be bonded. You will then receive your bond via email as well as via mail, if you should require a paper copy.

Do you have any further questions about how to get bonded in Washington state? Our How to Get Bonded guide explains the bonding process in greater detail and is a useful resource for first-time applicants!

Want to know more about how bond premiums are calculated by sureties? See our detailed How Much Does a Surety Bond Cost? guide** to learn more about the different factors that influence bond rates!

Can I Get a Mississippi Surety Bond With Bad Credit?

Credit score is very important when obtaining your surety bond, because a low score signals a higher risk for the surety. Not all sureties underwrite bad credit surety bonds.

This is why we created our bad credit surety bonds program. Thanks to our program, 99% of applicants can get bonded.

Premiums for bad credit applicants are slightly higher - between 5% and 15%. Yet, if you take steps to improve your credit report, you can pay a lower price when it’s time to renew your bond.
