Massachusetts Surety Bonds
Surety Bond Requirements in MA
The commonwealth of Massachusetts requires certain businesses to post a surety bond as part of the licensing process. For example, new or used motor vehicle dealers must post a $25,000 bond to receive licensure.
NNA Surety Bonds has been providing affordable policies to companies and individuals across the country since 1957. We carry some of the most popular bonds in Massachusetts, including those that serve:
- Debt collectors
- Motor vehicle dealers
- Motor vehicle repair shops
- Real estate brokers
We offer the following surety bonds in the state of Massachusetts:
Debt Collector Bond
The Office of the State Treasurer & Receiver General requires debt collectors operating in MA to post a $25,000 surety bond. Licensing for collection agencies is handled through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). The annual premium for your MA debt collector bond is $250, for those with good credit and business history.
Debt collector bonds help protect the public if your collection agency mishandles personal information or fails to report and pay collections to clients. In these circumstances, a claim can be filed against your bond to compensate harmed parties for financial loss.

Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond
Auto dealers selling new or used vehicles are required by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to post a $25,000 surety bond. While both new and used car dealers must obtain a license to operate, Massachusetts only requires used car dealers to file a bond with the state. The annual cost for this bond policy starts at $250.
