About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the issuance bond actually covers

Connecticut lets certain third parties — fleet companies, large dealers, registration services — process registration and title transactions on the DMV’s behalf under an electronic issuance license (the program that replaced the former X-license, effective October 1, 2024). Because these agents handle plates, titles, and state fees, the DMV requires surety bonds on form K-158X.

The program uses separate bonds for separate risks: commonly a $20,000 bond for consumer loss, a $20,000 bond for plate misuse, and a $5,000 bond for registration and title fees owed to the state. Each protects the DMV and the public against a different failure by the issuance agent.

It is not insurance for you — if a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. Tell us which bond (or bonds) your license requires and the amount, and we issue each at a flat 3% with no credit check. If you are unsure, send us the DMV requirement and we will confirm.

CT DMV Electronic Issuance License (form K-158X)Connecticut’s electronic issuance license, effective October 1, 2024, lets third parties process registration and title transactions for the DMV and requires surety bonds on form K-158X — commonly a $20,000 consumer-loss bond, a $20,000 plate-misuse bond, and a $5,000 registration-and-title-fees bond. Confirm the specific bonds and amounts on your DMV application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Connecticut registration issuance bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of each bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The DMV sets the amounts — commonly $20,000 for consumer loss, $20,000 for plate misuse, and $5,000 for fees. Enter each figure and the quote updates.
Do I need more than one bond? +
Often yes. The electronic issuance program uses separate bonds for separate risks (consumer loss, plate misuse, and state fees). Tell us which ones your license requires and we issue each — send us the DMV requirement if you are unsure.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the issuance bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What replaced the old X-license? +
Effective October 1, 2024, the DMV moved third-party issuance to the electronic issuance license framework. Entities transacting under the program must apply under the new rules and post the required bonds on form K-158X.
Where do I file it? +
With the Connecticut DMV, with your electronic issuance license application or renewal. We issue the executed bond(s) ready to submit.
