What it is and who needs it.
What the records-access bond covers
Arizona’s motor vehicle records are protected data. When a business buys those records electronically and in bulk from the MVD, ADOT conditions that access on a surety bond under the records-access provisions of A.R.S. Title 28, Chapter 2, Article 5. This particular program is for an LLC or corporation — not an individual.
The bond is a data-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to use the motor vehicle records only for authorized, lawful purposes and to safeguard the personal information they contain, consistent with the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act and Arizona law. If the records are misused and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by ADOT for your records-access agreement. Confirm the figure on your application; whatever it is, we issue the bond from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with ADOT. Submit the executed bond with your electronic records-access agreement or application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever ADOT insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
