What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Businesses authorized to pull Maryland driver and vehicle records — insurers, employers, investigators, and other permissible users — get access through the MVA's Interactive Driver & Vehicle Record (IDVR) system. The MVA conditions that access on a $1,000 surety bond filed on form DR-082.
Access to these records is governed by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), which limits who may request personal information from motor vehicle records and for what purposes. The bond is a compliance-and-protection guarantee standing behind your proper, permissible use of the records you access.
It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Maryland through the MVA (the obligee). If a requestor misuses record data or violates the access terms and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
