The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is the applicant providing registration services rather than selling vehicles?
Describe registration services and fee remittances. Match the applicant’s role and covered activity to the written request before selecting a form.
Is a dealer bond the same as a vehicle title bond?
No. Dealer licensing follows a business role, while a title request follows a particular vehicle and ownership process. Bring the dealer class for a license request or the vehicle identification and ownership documents for a title request. Auto liability and cargo coverage are separate.
How much will I pay?
The bond amount is the sum of the obligation or protection, not the purchase price. Review the premium and application conditions with the provider before paying. Any separately stated E&O limit is insurance coverage.
