It seams that many people try and secure their surety bond at the last possible minute, it seams that with some much going on, that this is one thing that often slips through the cracks. When you finally do apply, many become frustrated that the process is not instantaneous. As explained in our surety bond overview the process can take on average from one to four days.
Though you may feel helpless, there are some simple steps you can take to help the process:
- Be sure to respond to your agents question promptly. If an agent asks for additional information, please sent is ASAP. And agent will not ask for additional information unless it is absolutely necessary for your approval. Your application can not/will not be approved with out it.
- When applying, please make sure you fill the application out in full, and that the information is accurate. Missing information, or unclear information, will cause an agent to contact you for clarification. Misinformation can lead to even larger issues, and blatant lies can result in fraud charges. All of these issues slow the process and can ultimately lead to you being declined. Please take your time, and double check the information you provide before submitting your application.
- If you have been bonded before (or declined bonding) let your agent know this information. The bonding industry is small. This information can speed the process by allowing us to apply to the proper market first.
- Overnight shipping is available. Spend the extra money, and avoid mail delays.
