A $125,000 payment & performance bond gets an underwriter review; most clear quickly, and you hear back within 48 hours if anything else is needed. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Mexico's Motor Vehicle Division, part of the Taxation & Revenue Department, contracts with private partners to provide selected MVD services — registering and titling vehicles, issuing credentials, and collecting the fees and taxes due on each transaction. A provider operating under one of these partner agreements posts a $125,000 payment & performance bond.
It is a payment and performance bond: it stands behind both your duty to remit the fees and taxes you collect on the state's behalf and your performance of the services the agreement requires. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the provider/principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Mexico (the obligee). If a provider fails to remit collected funds or fails to perform, the state can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Providers who remit on time and keep clean records treat the bond as a condition of their agreement, not a risk. The $125,000 amount is fixed by the program, and our carrier fixes the price at $2,500 for it.
