How Does an Iowa Exempt Company Registration Bond Work? 

An exempt company registration bond creates a financial contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the exempt company owner(s) filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Iowa Division of Banking requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Iowa Code Chapters 535B and 535D, otherwise known as The Mortgage Licensing Act. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your exempt company registration bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
