What is this bond?

A Hawaii Public Official Bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees a government official will perform their duties honestly, faithfully, and in accordance with the law. It protects the public and the government entity from financial losses caused by fraud, theft, or negligence committed by the official while in office.

Who needs it?

Elected or appointed government officials in Hawaii, such as treasurers, tax collectors, judges, and clerks, typically need this bond before taking the oath of office. Requirements vary based on the specific role and local jurisdiction, so individuals should verify their exact bonding needs with their appointing agency.

Why is it required?

Government obligees require this bond to ensure that public funds and resources are handled responsibly by individuals placed in positions of trust. It serves as a financial safety net, compensating the state or its citizens if the official mismanages funds or fails to uphold their sworn administrative duties.
