What should I do if my bond is expired or canceled but I still need to renew it?

This article explains what to do if your surety bond was not renewed on time.

Last updated on 28 Oct, 2021

If you missed your renewal period and need to maintain an active bond with your bond holder (also known as the "obligee") for the next term, call us at 1 (800) 308-4358 or email customercare@suretybonds.com to explain your current situation and bonding needs.

Once a surety bond has been canceled due to nonrenewal, there are a few ways to move forward with the next term depending on the timeline. We might be able to reinstate the original bond, or you might need to purchase a brand new bond to file. 

Surety bonds should always be renewed at least 30 days before the new term starts to avoid potential licensing problems such as a lapse in coverage or late fees. Renewing your bond with SuretyBonds.com early ensures you and your obligee bond holder have plenty of time to be sure everything is in order.
