About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the deputy registrar bond covers

Minnesota appoints deputy registrars to process motor vehicle registrations, titles, and the fees and taxes that go with them. When a deputy registrar is not an officer or employee of a county or statutory or home rule charter city, the deputy must give bond to the state under Minn. Stat. 168.33, subdivision 7.

The bond is in the sum of $10,000, or a larger amount the commissioner requires, conditioned on the deputy faithfully discharging the duties of the office — in particular, properly accounting for and remitting the state fees and taxes collected. If a deputy registrar is also a driver licensing agent, that agent role needs its own separate bond.

If a deputy registrar mishandles public funds, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the deputy repays the surety. We issue the amount your office requires, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Minn. Stat. 168.33, subd. 7Under Minnesota Statutes section 168.33, subdivision 7, a deputy registrar who is not an officer or employee of a county or statutory or home rule charter city must give bond to the state in the sum of $10,000, or a larger sum as the commissioner may require, conditioned on the faithful discharge of the deputy’s duties. A deputy registrar who is also a driver licensing agent must hold a separate bond for the agent role. Confirm the exact amount with DVS.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Minnesota deputy registrar bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself starts at the statutory $10,000 floor — so $300 — and rises if the commissioner requires more for your office. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
Who has to post this bond? +
A deputy registrar who is not an officer or employee of a county or statutory/home rule charter city. Government-staffed offices generally do not need the surety bond; privately operated deputy registrar offices do.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the deputy registrar bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Is this the same as the driver licensing agent bond? +
No. If you are both a deputy registrar and a driver licensing agent, the statute requires a separate bond for the agent role on top of this one. We can issue each.
What amount should I enter? +
Start with the $10,000 floor unless the commissioner has set a larger amount for your office. If you are not sure, send us your appointment paperwork and we’ll confirm before issuing.
