If you are engaged as a title service agent operating in Maryland, you are required under the Transportation Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland to file a Maryland Insurance Administration Title Surety Bond as a condition of licensure.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Maryland Insurance Administration Title Surety Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a Maryland Insurance Administration Title Surety Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
