What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Maryland runs an Ignition Interlock Program through the Motor Vehicle Administration for drivers required to install an interlock device. Companies that install, calibrate, monitor, and service those devices must be authorized by the MVA — and authorization is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is a performance-and-accountability guarantee: it stands behind the provider's compliance with the program's requirements for installing and servicing interlock devices. It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Maryland through the MVA (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Providers who meet the program standards treat the bond as a condition of staying authorized. We track the filing and notify you ahead of expiration so your authorization stays continuous.
