Washington Professional Boxing, Martial Arts, Wrestling and Amateur Mixed Martial Bond
Overview
Get bonded and licensed to promote professional boxing, martial arts, wrestling, or amateur mixed martial arts events in Washington State. This surety bond is a mandatory credential required by the Washington State Department of Licensing before your promoter license is issued. It guarantees that you will meet your financial obligations to fighters, officials, and the state under Washington's combat sports regulations. Having this bond in hand means you can move forward with scheduling, contracting athletes, and running legal events.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are applying for a promoter license to stage professional boxing, professional martial arts, professional wrestling, or amateur mixed martial arts events anywhere in Washington State, this bond is required. It applies to any individual, partnership, or business entity that organizes, produces, or is financially responsible for a licensed combat sports event in Washington. You must secure this bond before the Department of Licensing will approve your promoter application. Without it, you cannot legally operate as a promoter in the state.
What is this Bond For?
Washington requires this bond to protect fighters, referees, judges, and other event participants from financial harm if a promoter fails to pay contractual purses, fees, or other obligations. It also protects the state's regulatory interest in ensuring that licensed promoters operate with financial accountability. If you default on payments or violate the terms of your license, a valid claim can be filed against this bond. The bond is not insurance for your business — it is a financial guarantee that you will honor your obligations as a licensed combat sports promoter.
When is it Required?
Renewal is a recurring reality for Washington combat sports promoters — this bond must remain active and in good standing for the duration of your promoter license. You need this bond in place at the time of your initial license application with the Washington State Department of Licensing, and it must not lapse while you hold an active license. Letting the bond expire can trigger suspension or revocation of your promoter license, which halts your ability to hold any licensed events. Plan for renewal well before your bond term ends to avoid any gap in coverage.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Washington requirement and applies to any promoter operating under a Washington State Department of Licensing combat sports promoter license. It covers professional boxing, professional martial arts, professional wrestling, and amateur mixed martial arts events held anywhere within the state. There is no local municipality or county that issues this license — it is governed exclusively at the state level.
