The California Legal Document Assistant (LDA) Bond is required by the State of California in order to register as an LDA. The bond amount is set at $25,000. This bond is not insurance, it is in place to protect the public from any financial harm caused by the LDA.
A legal document assistant is someone who provides any self-help service to persons who are representing themselves in a legal matter, for compensation. The LDA cannot provide legal advice, but can assist the client at their direction.
Registration as a Legal Document Assistant is required in each county where services are performed. Registration applies to an individual not a business. Should there be more than one individual in a business, each person must register.
Registration requirements include:
- Possess a valid government issued picture identification
- Provide documentation that the educational requirements of Legal Document Assistant has been met
- Remit a $175 fee (for each county of registration)
- A bond of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) shall accompany an application for a certificate of registration
