About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fuel-tax bond actually covers

Minnesota participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and the International Registration Plan (IRP), administered by Driver and Vehicle Services. Both let interstate motor carriers report and pay fuel-use tax and apportioned registration through a single base-state account. Most carriers never need a bond.

Driver and Vehicle Services can require a bond as a financial guarantee — typically for a new account, or when a carrier's filing history warrants it. The bond stands behind the fuel tax and fees the carrier collects or owes; if the carrier fails to remit, the state can recover against it.

The amount is set by Driver and Vehicle Services, often tied to the number of vehicles in the account. Whatever figure DVS names on your notice, pricing starts from $100 — the application collects no credit information, and same honest pricing as every bond we write.

Minnesota DVS — IFTA / IRPMinnesota administers IFTA and IRP through the Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services. A surety bond is not always required, but DVS can require one as a financial guarantee for an IFTA or IRP account — often tied to the number of vehicles in the account or the carrier's filing history. Confirm the required amount on your DVS notice.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Minnesota IFTA and IRP bond?The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — priced by amount, not a credit tier. The amount itself is set by Driver and Vehicle Services — often tied to the number of vehicles in your account. Enter the figure on your notice and apply to see your exact price.
Do I always need this bond?No. Most IFTA and IRP carriers never post a bond. Driver and Vehicle Services requires one mainly for a new account or when a carrier's filing history indicates a financial guarantee is warranted.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs — more likely on larger bond amounts — it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
What does the bond guarantee?That you remit the fuel tax and registration fees due on your IFTA or IRP account. If you fail to, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it?With Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services, which administers IFTA and IRP. We issue the executed bond ready to submit with your account.
