What Is an Oklahoma Surety Bond?

A surety bond is a legally binding agreement between three parties: you (the Principal), the government or client requiring the bond (the Obligee), and Varde Insurance (the Surety).

The bond guarantees that you will meet your legal and professional obligations. If you don't, the harmed party can file a claim — and you are ultimately responsible for repaying it.

Surety bonds are not insurance for your business — they protect your customers and the public. Many Oklahoma state agencies, municipalities, and courts require them as part of the licensing process.

Oklahoma Surety Bond Questions Answered

Bond costs vary based on the required bond amount and your credit profile. You pay a premium — typically 1% to 10% of the bond amount — rather than the full bond value. For example, a $25,000 auto dealer bond may cost as little as $188–$500 per year with good credit.
Yes. We work with applicants across all credit ranges. Those with lower credit scores typically pay a higher premium (5%–10%) but can still obtain the bond they need. Many license and permit bonds are especially accessible regardless of credit history.
Insurance protects the policyholder (you) from losses. A surety bond protects the public and government entities from losses caused by your failure to meet your obligations. If a claim is paid out on your bond, you are still ultimately responsible for repaying the surety company — unlike insurance, where the insurer absorbs the loss.
In most cases, we issue bonds the same day your application is approved and premium is paid. More complex bonds — such as large contract or performance bonds — may require additional underwriting review but are still typically completed within 1–3 business days.
Yes. Most surety bonds are annual and must be renewed to keep your Oklahoma license or permit in good standing. We send renewal reminders so you never lapse. Bond cancellation typically requires a 30–180 day notice depending on the bond type and obligee requirements.
Many agencies require bonds, including the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board, Used Motor Vehicle and Parts Commission, Department of Consumer Credit, Tax Commission, Insurance Department, OMMA (cannabis), Oklahoma Corporation Commission (oil & gas), and many municipalities and courts.
