Arizona requires every licensed wholesale motor vehicle dealer to file a $25,000 bond with the Motor Vehicle Division. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every dealer. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your wholesale dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed $25,000 bond ready to file with your wholesale dealer license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Arizona licenses motor vehicle dealers through the Motor Vehicle Division, and conditions a wholesale dealer license on a $25,000 surety bond under A.R.S. 28-4362. A wholesale dealer sells used vehicles only to other licensed dealers — the bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind clear title and your compliance with Arizona's motor vehicle dealer laws.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Arizona together with harmed parties. If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who deliver clean title and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
