Overview
Get bonded as a Missouri Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Permit Issuing Agent and you're authorized to sell state permits on behalf of the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Bond Titan makes it fast to get this filed and move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
Retail business owners, sporting goods stores, convenience stores, and other commercial operators who want to sell Missouri hunting, fishing, and trapping permits at their location need this bond. You've been approved — or are applying — to act as an official permit issuing agent for the Missouri Department of Conservation. That appointment requires you to carry this surety bond before you can begin selling permits. If you've received an agent agreement or application packet from the Department, this bond is part of completing that process.
What is this Bond For?
Missouri permit issuing agents collect fees from hunters, anglers, and trappers on behalf of the state. This bond protects the Missouri Department of Conservation against losses caused by an agent who mishandles, misappropriates, or fails to remit permit revenue. It holds agents financially accountable for every transaction processed under their issuing agent agreement. The bond isn't about your customers — it's about your obligation to the state.
When is it Required?
Appointment as a Missouri Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Permit Issuing Agent is what makes this bond mandatory. Before the Missouri Department of Conservation activates your agent status and grants access to the permit system, you must have this bond in place. Attempting to sell permits without it violates your issuing agent agreement. Get bonded first — then you're clear to start selling.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Missouri and is tied to your authorization from the Missouri Department of Conservation. It covers your permit-issuing activity at the specific location or locations listed in your agent agreement. There is no local or county-level equivalent — this is a state-level requirement for every issuing agent in Missouri.
