How does a California Commercial Requester Account Bond work?
This bond is a three-part agreement involving:
- Principal – Commercial requester account applicant
- Obligee – People of the State of California
- Surety – Surety bond provider
The Principal and the Surety will partner in assuring the performance of the former to the California DMV. The Principal is primarily responsible for fulfilling all legal obligations. If the Principal fails to do any of the bonded obligations required by the relevant laws, rules, and regulations, the Obligee can file a bond claim.
The claim will first be verified by the Surety before it is settled. If the claim is valid, the Surety will pay the Obligee on behalf of the Principal. The Principal is legally required to reimburse the Surety after.
