Legal Document Assistant Bond – LDA Bond

California requires Legal Document Assistants to obtain a Legal Document Assistant Surety Bond in the amount of $25,000.  LDA Bonds are for a  two-year term and are required for a California LDA to be registered as an LDA. The CA legal document assistant surety bond is filed in the county where the LDA will be preparing and filing legal documents. Check with the California Secretary of State or California Business and Professions Code Section 6400 for the law on the legal document assistant surety bond requirements.
