What information shall be included on an affidavit on the undertaking of a bond?

• A. Any promised security or consideration; Any received security or consideration; The name of the person by whom the promise was made or from whom the security or consideration was received.
• B. Any promised security or consideration; The amount of the bond; The date of filing.
• C. The insurer's name; The bondsman's signature; The date of the affidavit.
• D. The court clerk's contact information; The bondsman's license number; The stage of the case.

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is documenting the security backing the bond and who provided it. An affidavit on the undertaking of a bond must lay out any promised security or consideration and any security or consideration actually received, and it must name the person by whom the promise was made or from whom the security or consideration was received. This creates a clear, traceable link between the obligation and its sources, which is how enforcement and accountability are managed if the bond is called or forfeited.

Other details like the bond amount, filing date, insurer’s name, bondsman’s signature, affidavit date, or administrative contact information are not the focus of this affidavit of undertaking; they belong on other documents or serve different purposes.
