IN partial service branch bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
Indiana lets approved businesses run a partial service license branch — handling BMV tasks like vehicle registration, renewals, and title services. The BMV Commission conditions that authority on a $10,000 bond under IC 9-14.1. Ours is $300 flat, 3% of the bond amount.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Indiana's Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commission can authorize a business to operate a partial service license branch — sharing in BMV functions like vehicle registration, renewals, and certain title services. The authority is governed by IC 9-14.1 (the license branch statute).
The bond indemnifies the BMV for any breach of the laws, regulations, or rules governing how you operate the branch. It is a financial guarantee that you will handle the BMV's transactions, fees, and records correctly — a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Indiana (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A current $10,000 bond must stay on file as a condition of your branch authority, so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
