General Information
Why Do I Need a New York City Process Server Bond?
If you serve five (5) or more legal documents within a year in New York City, you must obtain a Process Server Individual License from the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). One of the license requirements is a $10,000 surety bond, which ensures you will comply with all applicable city rules and regulations. Without this bond, your license application will be considered incomplete.
