Also known as the Oklahoma auto dealer bond or car dealer bond.
Oklahoma requires every used motor vehicle dealer to file a $25,000 bond with the Used Motor Vehicle Commission under 47 O.S. § 583. Ours is $350 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every dealer. One soft credit pull that never affects your score; the bond is issued when you pay.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma licenses used motor vehicle dealers through the Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission, and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond under 47 O.S. § 583. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the vehicles you sell and your compliance with Oklahoma's used-dealer law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Oklahoma together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies a customer's money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond runs with the two-year license term — it begins on the first day of each even-numbered year and expires on the last day of the following odd-numbered year. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who deliver clean title and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality.
