Overview of Choosing Bonds
The user may search for a bond configuration using any of the criteria of a bond configuration (i.e. the class or category) or use a series of drop-down menus to select the desired configuration.
Accessing Choose Bond

Free Form Search for any Bond
The search box can suggest bond configurations by matching the text entered to the beginning of the criteria of a bond configuration. As the text is entered, suggestions will begin to appear.
Click on the suggestion for the desired configuration. The view will change to a series of drop-down menus being automatically filled out. If this is the desired bond configuration, click the Submit button.

Selecting a Contract or Commercial Bond by Dropdown Menus
Configurations can also be found using the dropdowns below the 'Free Form Search' box.
If the contract bond family is chosen, only the class, category, and carrier need to be selected.
Starting from the top, each choice made in a dropdown will determine the possible choices contained in the next dropdown until all dropdowns are filled out. To maintain the chosen bond configuration, click the Submit button.
Selecting a commercial type bond configuration is the same process as choosing a contract bond, except that the obligee and state must also be chosen in a dropdown.

Previewing a Bond Configuration's Documents
Once finished selecting a bond configuration, the Pdf Document Preview option will appear. Click this button to display a preview of the documents that will be produced when the bond is purchased.
This feature is only available for commercial bonds.
