What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Businesses authorized to pull Maryland driver and vehicle records — insurers, employers, investigators, and other permissible users — get access through the MVA's Interactive Driver & Vehicle Record (IDVR) system. The MVA conditions that access on a $1,000 surety bond filed on form DR-082.
Access to these records is governed by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), which limits who may request personal information from motor vehicle records and for what purposes. The bond is a compliance-and-protection guarantee standing behind your proper, permissible use of the records you access.
It's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Maryland through the MVA (the obligee). If a requestor misuses record data or violates the access terms and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

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 $1,000 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 MVA. Your executed bond (form DR-082) and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the MVA records-access program. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
