Surplus Lines Brokers – Oklahoma
As a prerequisite of licensing, an Oklahoma surplus lines broker must provide the state’s Insurance Commissioner with evidence of filing the appropriate surety bond amount.
According to Oklahoma statute 365:25-3-12 (found on approximately pages 13 and 14 of this link) the amount of the surety bond required will be according to either the gross premium or gross fees, whichever amount is greater.
Obtaining your surety bond will be the easiest and quickest part of your licensing process. The minimum amount of surety bond required is $5000; the maximum amount is $40,000.
Qualifying and the Premium
All applicants for the Oklahoma surplus lines broker bond, regardless of the amount required, are automatically approved.
This is because the bond does not require an underwriter review nor a credit inquiry. What this means for you is that once the application has been completed and the premium paid, the bond is issued to you immediately.
Subject to a minimum amount of $100, the bond’s premium is 1% of the amount of surety required. The surety bond amount required and the premium for that amount are determined as follows:
- Gross premiums or gross fees below $25,000, $5000 surety bond – $100 premium (minimum of $100);
- Between $25,000 to $49,999, $10,000 surety bond – $100 premium;
- Between $50,000 to $74,999, $15,000 surety bond – $150 premium;
- Between $75,000 to $99,999, $20,000 surety bond – $200 premium;
- Between $100,000 to $249,999, $25,000 surety bond – $250 premium;
- Between $250,000 to $499,999, $30,000 surety bond – $300 premium;
- Between $500,000 to $999,999, $35,000 surety bond – $350 premium;
- $1,000,000 and above, $40,000 surety bond – $400 premium.
Once the application has been completed (we can take the application from you over the phone) and the premium paid, the bond is issued immediately. A copy of the bond can be sent to you by email; however, the original surety bond will be sent by the following business day.
It is the original bond which you will want file with the Oklahoma Insurance Department. You will also need to sign your bond as Principal.
