About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tag agency bond actually guarantees

A Louisiana public license tag agent contracts with the Office of Motor Vehicles to process vehicle registrations, titles, and plate transactions for the public. Under La. R.S. 47:532.1, a tag agent (other than a local government or state agency) must execute a surety bond naming the OMV as obligee.

The bond is conditioned on the agent timely filing all applications it takes in, and timely remitting all fees and taxes it collects, to the OMV. If the agent collects public money and fails to deliver the applications, fees, or taxes, the state can recover against the bond.

The amount is set by statute by the number of offices: $100,000 for an agent with a single office, and $125,000 for an agent with more than one office. This page is the $100,000 single-office bond. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the $100,000 tag agency bond?The premium is $1,000 flat, the same for every single-office agent. It's set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, not a percentage — the $100,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.

Is it $100,000 or $125,000 for me?Under R.S. 47:532.1, it is $100,000 if you have a single office and $125,000 if you have more than one office in the state. This page is the single-office $100,000 bond; we have a page for the $125,000 version too.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the OMV if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What does the bond guarantee?That you timely file all applications you take in and timely remit all fees and taxes you collect to the Office of Motor Vehicles. If you fail to and the state is harmed, it can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. It informs approval, not price: the price stays $1,000 flat either way.

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.
