About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the manufacturer bond actually guarantees

Nevada requires a license to act as a vehicle manufacturer, distributor or rebuilder under NRS 482.322, and conditions that license on a surety bond under NRS 482.345. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Nevada’s vehicle licensing and sales laws.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Nevada together with anyone injured by your conduct as a licensee (the protected parties). If you violate the chapter and someone is harmed, they can apply against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond amount is set by the Department on your license requirement, not by us. We confirm the figure on your DMV notice and price it from $100; the application collects no credit information, and any check that runs on a larger amount is a soft pull that never affects your score.

NRS 482.322 & 482.345 (Nevada DMV)Nevada licenses vehicle manufacturers, distributors and rebuilders through the DMV under NRS 482.322, with surety-bond requirements under NRS 482.345. The bond amount and conditions are set by the Department; bond reductions are available for licensees in good standing after several years. Confirm the exact amount on your DMV license requirement and we’ll issue it.

The amount itself is set by the Nevada DMV on your license requirement — manufacturer and distributor bonds are commonly written at $50,000. Enter the figure on your notice and your exact price appears at the application.
Do I pay the bond amount?No. You pay the bond premium. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the state and anyone harmed — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Can my bond amount be reduced?The DMV may allow a reduced amount for licensees who have been in good standing for several years, but not below the statutory floor. We re-issue at whatever amount the Department approves.
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.
