About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When the Connecticut DMV authorizes a provider to register and title vehicles electronically, that provider collects state registration and title fees from customers. The $5,000 registration and title fees bond guarantees those fees are accurately collected and remitted to the state.

The bond is a state-protection guarantee: it stands behind the public money you handle. If a provider fails to remit the fees it collected, or misapplies them, the State of Connecticut can recover against the bond up to $5,000.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Connecticut through the DMV (the obligee). It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This bond is priced at a flat $100.

Connecticut DMV electronic registration program (C.G.S. 14-15)Connecticut authorizes electronic registration and titling service providers through the DMV; the program requires a set of surety bonds, including a $5,000 registration and title fees bond guaranteeing the proper remittance of collected fees, alongside a $20,000 customer indemnity bond and a $20,000 marker plate issuance bond. Connecticut General Statutes around vehicle registration and titling (including C.G.S. 14-15) govern the underlying activity. Confirm the exact bonds and amounts on your DMV authorization paperwork.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 the DMV. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your electronic-registration authorization. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
