A Nevada motor vehicle damage appraiser must file a $2,500 bond with the Division of Insurance under NRS 684B. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The application collects no credit information, and most approve instantly.
















Your appraiser license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process:
Your details, effective date, and a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. That is the whole application.
A small bond like this usually clears fast; if underwriting needs anything, an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your appraiser license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
A motor vehicle damage appraiser inspects damaged vehicles and estimates the cost of repair, typically for insurance claims. Nevada licenses appraisers through the Division of Insurance under NRS Chapter 684B and conditions the license on a $2,500 surety bond.
The bond is a guarantee of honest, competent appraisal work. It stands behind the appraiser's compliance with Nevada insurance law and protects parties harmed by the appraiser's wrongful conduct. Because appraisals drive what claimants are paid, the state wants a small financial backstop in place.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim (up to $2,500), you repay the surety. The bond is continuous until cancelled and must be renewed for as long as you hold the license.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
