How the Motor Vehicle Interstate Carrier Bond Works

A California motor vehicle interstate carrier bond is a legally binding agreement between three parties:

  • Principal: Interstate motor carrier
  • Obligee: California DMV or relevant regulatory authority
  • Surety: Company that issues the bond

This bond serves as a financial guarantee that all required registration fees, taxes, and regulatory assessments are paid to the state. If you fail to meet these obligations, an affected party may file a claim against your bond. If the claim is validated, the surety may compensate the harmed party up to $50,000 and you are then responsible for reimbursing the surety for any paid claims.
