How the California Motor Vehicle Verifier Bond Works

This bond is a three-party agreement that guarantees accurate and lawful VIN verification services and involves:

    • Principal: Licensed vehicle verifier
    • Obligee: California DMV
    • Surety: Company that issues the bond

The license and permit bond ensures you perform vehicle verification services in accordance with California laws and DMV regulations. This includes properly inspecting vehicles and accurately documenting VINs to prevent fraud or misrepresentation.

If a consumer or the state suffers financial loss due to your negligence or misconduct, a claim can be filed against your bond, which the surety will investigate.

If the claim is valid, the surety may compensate damages up to $5,000, and you are then responsible for reimbursing the surety for any paid claims.
