How Does an Oklahoma Bail Enforcement Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a bail enforcement bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the bail agent filing the bond
- Obligee: The Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding Title 59, O.S. § 1350, also known as The Oklahoma Bail Enforcement and Licensing Act.
If you break bail enforcement regulations, 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?
To renew your bail enforcer license bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
After renewing your bond, you’ll receive a continuation certificate to file with the CLEET as proof of ongoing coverage.
