Every professional photocopier who is applying for a certificate of registration must obtain this bond. This bond should be submitted to the county clerk.
This bond is required to ensure that the professional photocopier will not reveal any information from the documents that he or she is reproducing. The documents include personal data, different records maintained by a business, and other evidence of writings.
That legal duty is stated in Section 22450 to Section 22463 of the California Business and Professions Code.

- An affidavit signed by the professional photocopier.
- An affidavit signed by the custodian of the original records.

Failure of the professional photocopier to include the said information is a violation of the Code.

How does a California Professional Photocopier Bond work?
This bond is an agreement among the Principal (professional photocopier), Obligee (County Clerk), and the Surety (the party who will issue the bond).
The Surety will guarantee to the Obligee that the Principal will not reveal any information that he or she comes in contact with while photocopying any documents. The Surety will also ensure that if the Principal commits the misconduct, the Obligee will be paid.
The Surety will first check the validity of the Obligee’s claim before it is settled. Once the Surety has settled the claim, the Principal is legally required to reimburse the payments made by the Surety under the terms of the bond’s agreement.
