What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Connecticut authorizes certain businesses — dealers and third-party service providers — to issue vehicle registrations and titles electronically on the DMV’s behalf. Because those providers collect fees and handle customer paperwork, the DMV requires a set of surety bonds, including a $20,000 customer indemnity bond.
The customer indemnity bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind the customers whose registration or title work you process. If a provider mishandles a transaction, misapplies a customer’s payment, or otherwise causes a customer loss, the harmed customer can recover against this bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Connecticut through the DMV (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write the $20,000 amount at a flat $200.
