What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Michigan's Department of State sells driver's license and vehicle records to qualified businesses, but only after the purchaser signs a use agreement and posts a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a data-protection guarantee: it backs your agreement to use the records only for permitted purposes and to follow the laws governing personal information.
Personal information in those records is protected by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) and Michigan law. Records may not be resold for marketing or solicitation, and improper use exposes you to liability — the bond stands behind that obligation for the benefit of the state and the people whose records you access.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is continuous until canceled, with 30 days' notice required, so we track it and notify you ahead of any expiration to keep your records access uninterrupted.
