The California Department of Insurance has put procedures into place for bail bonds licensees who go into military service occupations.

The “CDI has established procedures that provide the licensee with guidelines to insure that his or her license will remain in force during their period of military service,” according to the California Bail Education textbook.
“Our service members are extremely important and we want to be able to support them in whatever way possible,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “The CDI offers service members the opportunity to waive renewal requirements.”
The CDI has procedures in place so service members do not have to renew their licenses during their period of military service and until the end of the year in which the licensee has been released from military service, according to the textbook.
“This helps out our military tremendously,” Chavez said. “If they worked at a bail bond agency, like All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, they would not have to study for their license test while deployed.”
To be eligible for special military procedures, a licensee must notify the CDI by faxing their activation orders to (916) 327-6907 or mailing their orders to the California Department of Insurance, 320 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814, according to the textbook. The outside of the envelope should be marked with “personal and confidential — Military Service.”
When the service member is released from military service, they should notify the CDI by providing a copy of their military discharge papers to the same fax number or mailing address stated above, according to the textbook.
If the military service member does not inform the CDI of their return from service and the license expires after they have discharged, their license will fail to renew, according to the textbook. The military service member will then have to submit a renewal application with a 50 percent penalty fee.
“It’s important to keep the CDI informed,” Chavez said, “ so bail bonds agencies like All American Bail Bonds can provide service members will jobs.”
