The Combat Sports Bond Form is the bond that the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP), Occupational and Professional Licensing, uses for promoters licensed by the DC Combat Sports Commission. It is not a general application for a DC business license: it is the bond a surety signs so that a license to promote, stage and conduct boxing and/or sparring exhibitions can take effect.

What is Combat Sports Bond Form – Washington, DC?
The Combat Sports Bond Form is a one-page bond, issued under the DLCP's Occupational and Professional Licensing office, in which a principal and a corporate surety bind themselves to the District of Columbia Combat Sports Commission to cover the principal's performance as a licensed boxing and sparring promoter.
The printed text names the Principal, who is "of the city of Washington, D.C.," and a Surety, a corporation of a named state that does business in the District of Columbia. Both are bound, jointly and severally, for a stated sum in United States money. The form recites that the principal's application for a license to promote, stage and conduct boxing and/or sparring exhibitions and contests was approved by the Commission on a given date, and that the license has been issued, contingent only on the execution and approval of the bond.
The obligation becomes void if the principal faithfully performs every agreement and undertaking for the exhibitions and contests in line with the application(s) and license(s), within one calendar year from a date entered on the form. It also requires the principal to comply with the Commission's regulations, including prompt payment of license fees, reasonable costs and fines the Commission imposes. Otherwise the bond stays in full force.
The form ends with signature lines, an Attorney-in-Fact line for the surety and an approval block for the Commission Chair and a Commissioner.
Who needs to file Combat Sports Bond Form – Washington, DC?
The main group is the applicant for a license from the DC Combat Sports Commission to promote, stage and conduct boxing and/or sparring exhibitions and contests in the District of Columbia. That applicant appears on the form as the Principal. The form states that the license is issued contingent only on the execution and approval of this bond.
A second party must also take part: the Surety, which the form describes as a corporation of a named state doing business in the District of Columbia. An attorney-in-fact signs on the surety's behalf on the line marked ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
The Commission is the third party. Its Chair and a Commissioner complete the APPROVED BY block; the applicant and the surety do not.
The form says nothing about other kinds of licenses. It is not a general DC business license application and does not apply to people who are not seeking a Combat Sports Commission license to promote boxing or sparring exhibitions.
When to file Combat Sports Bond Form – Washington, DC
The bond is executed after the Commission approves the license application, because the form recites that a license has been issued contingent only on the execution and approval of the bond. The date of that approval is written on the form.
The bond covers one calendar year from the date entered in the blank after "within the period of one calendar year from." The form prints no separate filing deadline and no renewal rule, so check the period you enter against your license with the Commission.
The Commission's approval is recorded last, in the APPROVED BY block, with the day, month and year of approval.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the bond as a DC business license application; the form only secures a Combat Sports Commission license that has been approved and issued contingent on the bond.
- Leaving blank the state of the Surety corporation, which the form requires alongside the surety's name.
- Entering a bond period other than one calendar year from the start date, since the condition runs for that period.
- Omitting the Commission's approval date of the license application in the WHEREAS clause.
- Sending the bond without the attorney-in-fact signature on the line marked ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
- Leaving out the witness signature lines under "Signed and sealed in the presence of."
- Filling in the APPROVED BY block for the Commission Chair and Commissioner, which is for the Commission to complete.
