Which of the following is a required element on the bondsman report?

• A. The principal's social security number
• B. The insurer's license number
• C. The court and the county
• D. The defendant's arrest records

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is that a bondsman report must clearly identify the exact jurisdiction where the bond is filed so the court can locate and track the case. Including the court and the county ties the bond to the specific docket in the correct courthouse, ensuring proper recording, monitoring, and future court actions.

Other details listed aren’t essential for identifying the bond’s jurisdiction or its linked case. A principal’s social security number is private information and not needed on the report. The insurer’s license number isn’t what ties the bond to a particular case. The defendant’s arrest records aren’t part of the bond filing, which focuses on identifying the case, the court, and the bond itself.
