Virginia Surety Bond Requirements for Licensed Professionals

Virginia requires surety bonds for a broad range of licensed businesses and professionals. Contractors, auto dealers, mortgage brokers, and travel agencies are just a few of the industries where a surety bond is a mandatory part of the licensing process. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) and other state agencies use surety bonds to hold licensees financially accountable to the clients and communities they serve. Having the right bond in place protects your business and demonstrates your commitment to ethical operations.
