What is an Illinois Remittance Agent Bond?

Get to know what this surety bond is all about and how to obtain one easily!

Any person who accepts money that will be remitted to the State of Illinois for the payment of the following is required to procure a surety bond:

  • Payment of vehicle taxes
  • Payment of vehicle licenses
  • Payment of registration fees

Through a surety bond, the proper transmittal of all remittances performed by the remittance agent will be ensured.

 

This licensure prerequisite – in line with Section 1019.10 of the Illinois Administrative Code – will also guarantee the conformity of the remittance agent to the applicable rules and regulations.

 

Furthermore, it will be conditioned that appropriate compensation can be drawn from the surety bond if the remittance agent harms another person by failing to perform his or her statutory obligations.

 

What is the Remittance Agent Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per remittance agent.

 

The bond amount will be equal to the total amount of money transmitted to the State of Illinois by the remittance agent during the highest 15 day period in the fiscal year before the year during which the application was made.

 

The minimum bond amount is $10,000 (will increase to $20,000 starting January 1, 2018).
