Oregon Mail Agent Bond - $10,000

 

What is the Oregon Mail Agent Bond?

The Oregon Revised Statute 646A.340 defines a mail agent as any person, organization, or entity (corporation, sole proprietorship, etc.) who owns and regulates any mailbox for the purpose of receiving United States material or mail from a private individual or entity. All mail agents must not receive packages on behalf of a tenant should they discover the use of false information.

 

The State of Oregon mandates aspiring mail agents to secure proper licenses, fees, and bonds with the Department of Justice Civil Enforcement Division. According to the Department’s Insurance Division, the total bond amount that must be secured for mail agents is $10,000. ORS 646A.344 to 646A.348 also allows the use of an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $10,000 from an insured or bonded instution in lieu of actual bonding.

 

 

Why do you need an Oregon Mail Agent Bond?

The State of Oregon provides proper licensing guidelines, including strict bonding, for prospect mail agents to protect the state and the citizens from fraudulent businesses and other gross misconduct. Failure to satisfy the duties and responsibilities of a mail agent will result to proper reprimanding, including payment for actual damages not exceeding $1,000 per incident of violation.

 

Apart from the mandatory legal compliance, securing your own licensing bond also ensures:

  • Clients are completely safe and secure under your agency
  • Your credibility is boosted in terms of financial security
  • You are able to use your full line of credit
  • The confidentiality of your activities (unless requested by legal authorities)
  • Your access to professional advice counseling from lawyers, estimators, and similar professionals.
