What is a California Process Server Bond?

A process server plays an essential role in the legal process by delivering legal documents and providing verification to the court that the individual received the documents. Many counties in California require a process server bond during the licensing process.

Why Do I Need a California Process Server Bond?

California process server bonds help to ensure that the principals comply with the Business and Professional Code of the State of California (Chapter 16, Section 22350, Division 8). If the process server fails to comply with the state laws, the bond protects any harmed parties from financial loss. The process server is then responsible for reimbursing the surety for any paid damages or legal fees.
