About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the deputy registrar bond covers

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.

Minn. Stat. 168.33 (deputy registrars)Minn. Stat. 168.33 makes the commissioner of public safety the registrar of vehicles and provides that a deputy registrar who is not an officer or employee of a county or statutory or home rule charter city 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 and covering the taxes and fees collected for the commissioner. A deputy who is also a driver’s license agent must maintain a separate bond. Confirm your required amount with Driver and Vehicle Services.

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 $10,000 statutory minimum and goes up if the registrar requires more. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
Who has to post this bond? +
A deputy registrar that is not an officer or employee of a county or city — typically a privately operated office. County- and city-run deputy registrars are generally covered differently. Confirm with Driver and Vehicle Services.
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.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects the taxes and fees you collect for the state. If you fail to remit or otherwise breach your duties, the state recovers against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.
I’m also a driver’s license agent — is one bond enough? +
No. Minn. Stat. 168.33 requires a separate bond for the driver’s license agent role in addition to the deputy registrar bond covering vehicle taxes and fees. Tell us both roles and we’ll issue what you need.
