Arizona electronic MV records bonds.
From $100.
When a sole proprietor or partnership is authorized to access electronic motor vehicle records through ADOT as an authorized third party, A.R.S. § 28-5104 conditions that authorization on a surety bond. The Motor Vehicle Division sets the amount for your service; the premium is 2% of that bond amount, $100 minimum, calculated instantly at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the records bond actually covers
Arizona lets private businesses act as authorized third parties for the Motor Vehicle Division — handling motor vehicle records, registrations, titles, and related services that the Division would otherwise perform. A.R.S. § 28-5104 conditions that authorization on a surety bond running to the State of Arizona as obligee.
The bond is conditioned that the authorized third party will faithfully comply with the provisions of law governing its authorization, and protects the state and the public against failures in that duty. It must be noncancellable without at least sixty days’ prior notice to the director, so coverage cannot lapse without warning.
This entry is the sole proprietor / partnership version of the records bond — there is a separate form for corporations and LLCs. The amount depends on the service you are authorized for; ADOT names it on your authorization. We issue whatever amount applies — premiums start at $100, with your exact price at the application.
