District of Columbia Consumer Goods Repair Dealer Bond
Overview

Holding this bond signals to the District that you are a legitimate, accountable repair dealer. Buy it online today and move your license application forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you repair consumer goods — electronics, appliances, computers, or similar items — and operate in the District of Columbia, you need this bond before you can get licensed as a repair dealer. DC requires repair dealers to be bonded as a condition of doing business in the District. This applies whether you run a storefront or operate a mobile repair service. If the District has flagged you for this requirement, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects DC consumers who hire you to repair their property. If you collect payment without performing the work, return items in worse condition, or otherwise violate consumer protection standards governing repair dealers, a harmed customer can file a claim against the bond. It holds you financially accountable and gives the District enforcement leverage over licensed repair businesses. The bond does not protect you — it protects the public.
When is it Required?
Renewal is a standing obligation for DC consumer goods repair dealers — your bond must remain active for as long as your dealer license is in effect. You must be bonded at the time of your initial license application, and any lapse in bond coverage can jeopardize your license status. Keep your bond current before each renewal cycle to avoid disruption. If you are applying for the first time, you need this bond in hand before the District will process your dealer license.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide DC requirement and applies to all consumer goods repair dealers operating within the District of Columbia. It is not a city permit or a county-level requirement — it is issued and enforced at the DC government level. Your bond must reflect the correct principal name and business information as registered with the District.
