about bond type
What Is an Alaska Surety Bond?
When you purchase an Alaska surety bond, you become one party (the “principal”) to a legally binding agreement guaranteeing your compliance with certain regulatory and/or contractual requirements. An Alaska surety bond protects the party requiring it (the “obligee”) and often consumers against any financial losses caused by noncompliance. Most often, the obligee is a state or local government entity.
What Types of Alaska Surety Bonds May Be Needed?
There are four main types of Alaska surety bonds:
- License and permit bonds—required when obtaining or renewing certain state or local professional or occupational licenses or permits
- Contract bonds—required before entering into a contract with a public or private entity, most commonly in the construction industry
- Court bonds—required from plaintiffs and/or defendants in certain civil court proceedings and from people appointed by a probate court to serve in a fiduciary capacity
- Fidelity bonds, also called “business services bonds”—purchased by business owners concerned about potential employee dishonesty

costs
How Much Does It Cost?
The premium cost for an Alaska surety bond is the result of multiplying the required bond amount by the premium rate. The bond’s guarantor (known as the “surety”) sets the premium rate based on your personal credit score. This is the best measure of the risk the surety is taking in guaranteeing the payment of claims. With a high credit score, the risk is considered to be low, and the premium rate will also be low, typically in the range of 1% to 3%.

Alaska Surety Bond FAQ
Can I get an Alaska surety bond with bad credit?
Does it matter where I get my Alaska surety bond?
You will need to obtain your bond from a surety bond provider authorized to issue bonds in Alaska.
What is the difference between insurance and an Alaska surety bond?
Insurance and surety bonds are very different animals. You buy insurance to protect yourself against financial loss. You buy a bond to protect the obligee requiring it. Depending on the type of surety bond, consumers may be protected as well as the obligee.
What if a false claim is filed in Alaska?
Upon receipt of a claim, the surety determines whether it is valid. If it is, you are legally obligated to pay it. You will need to make your case with the surety if you think you can prove that a claim is not legitimate.
