About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Indiana's Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commission can authorize a business to operate a partial service license branch — sharing in BMV functions like vehicle registration, renewals, and certain title services. The authority is governed by IC 9-14.1 (the license branch statute).

The bond indemnifies the BMV for any breach of the laws, regulations, or rules governing how you operate the branch. It is a financial guarantee that you will handle the BMV's transactions, fees, and records correctly — a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Indiana (the obligee).

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A current $10,000 bond must stay on file as a condition of your branch authority, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

IC 9-14.1 (BMV Commission)Indiana Code Title 9, Article 14.1 governs license branches and partial service providers, under which the Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commission may authorize a business to perform BMV functions and conditions that authority on a $10,000 surety bond that indemnifies the BMV against any breach of the governing laws and rules. Confirm the current bond amount on your application with the BMV Commission.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Indiana partial service license branch bond?The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for the fixed $10,000 bond amount — the same for every branch. There is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the BMV if you breach the rules governing your branch — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee?That you operate your partial service license branch in compliance with Indiana motor vehicle law — handling registrations, renewals, titles, fees, and records correctly. If you breach those rules and the BMV is harmed, it can claim against the bond.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond. Most applications approve instantly.
When does it renew?A current bond must stay on file as a condition of your branch authority. You can buy one, two or three renewal terms; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your authority never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
