A privately operated deputy registrar of motor vehicles in Minnesota must give a continuous bond to the state — covering the taxes and fees it collects — conditioned on the faithful discharge of its duties under Minn. Stat. 168.33. The statutory minimum is $10,000, more if the registrar requires. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

The commissioner of public safety is the registrar of vehicles for Minnesota, and appoints deputy registrars — many privately operated — to handle vehicle registration, titling, and tab renewals for the public under Minn. Stat. 168.33. A deputy collects state taxes and fees on the commissioner’s behalf.
If a deputy registrar is not an officer or employee of a county or city, the deputy must give a continuous bond to the state in the sum of $10,000, or a larger sum the registrar requires, conditioned on the faithful discharge of the deputy’s duties — chiefly, remitting the taxes and fees it collects.
The bond stands behind the public money you handle. If a deputy fails to remit or otherwise breaches its duties, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. A deputy who is also a driver’s license agent must carry a separate bond for that role. We issue the amount the registrar set at a flat 3%, no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the registrar set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with Driver and Vehicle Services.
