Need licenses and bonding information on starting a cleaning business in Washington DC?

City license go to city hall, why do you need to be bonded, has some customer asked you to be ? Or do you want to bond some of your employees But there is tons more that you will need, the Small Business You can get help from the Small Business Admin but you will need to look at zoning issues, insurance, and more

Here's a link to DC's website about licensing - District of Columbia: Business Resource Center: Fulfill Tax and License Requirements (http://brc.dc.gov/planning/requirements/requirements.asp)
I doubt a bond is required, I didn't look as I am 99 percent sure no bond is required.
Liability insurance is much more important than a bond but you can buy a bond for dishonest acts of your employees, visit an agent for details.
