The Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions regulates the licensing of pawnbrokers in the state.  They also require a $50,000 surety bond for pawnbrokers who do not meet the minimum net worth requirement of $50,000.

According to the Office, one pawnshop owner who has multiple locations is not required to obtain a $50,000 bond for each location.  However, if you have different locations with different business structures (i.e. LLC, corporation), then a $50,000 bond is required for each location, if you also do not otherwise meet net worth requirements.

Additional licensing requirements of pawnshops are also spelled out by the Office.

The pawnshop broker surety bond is also filed through NMLS, the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System. Our agency can electronically file this bond on your behalf.
