What is a California Motor Vehicle Verifier Bond?

The Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of California – in pursuance of Section 11301 of the California Vehicle Code – requires all motor vehicle verifiers to obtain this bond.

 

This bond is a requirement prior to the issuance of a motor vehicle verifier license. This bond must be submitted before the motor vehicle verifier can inspect, record, document, and submit to the California DMV or its authorized representative proof of a vehicle’s identification for the purpose of registration.

 

As financial security, this bond will compensate the owner of the vehicle or any person who received the services of the licensed motor vehicle verifier if the said licensee incorrectly verifies an engine, vehicle verification number, or hull identification number.

 

How much does a California Motor Vehicle Verifier Bond cost?

The bond premium will vary per motor vehicle verifier license applicant. This will be based on the license applicant’s credit score.

 

Those who have an excellent score will only pay $100 as the bond premium, or 2% of the bond amount.

 

The bond amount is $5,000.

How does a California Motor Vehicle Verifier Bond work?

This bond will serve as a legal agreement among 3 parties:

  • Principal – motor vehicle verifier license applicant
  • Obligee – People of the State of California
  • Surety – the party who will issue the bond

The Principal and the Surety will partner in assuring the performance of the Principal to the Obligee. The Principal is primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the obligations required by the Obligee. 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. Once the Surety has settled the claim, the Principal will reimburse the Surety for the payments made.
