What is Immigration Consultant Bond:

The California Immigration Consultant Bond, also known as the Immigration Consultant Surety Bond, is a requirement for individuals or businesses operating as immigration consultants in the state of California.

Why the Bond is Required:

The bond is a form of financial protection that ensures compliance with the laws and regulations governing immigration consultants. It is designed to safeguard the interests of clients who may suffer financial losses due to fraudulent or unlawful actions of the consultant.

The California Secretary of State’s Office requires immigration consultants to post a bond in the amount of $100,000 before they can provide immigration-related services. This bond must be obtained from a surety company licensed to do business in the state.

By posting the bond, the immigration consultant agrees to adhere to the provisions of the California Business and Professions Code related to immigration consulting. This includes complying with laws regarding advertising, contract requirements, disclosure of fees, and maintaining records.

Bond is not an Insurance:

In the event that the consultant violates these provisions, and a client suffers financial harm as a result, the client can make a claim against the bond. If the claim is validated, the surety company will compensate the client up to the amount of the bond.
