An appointed driver licensing agent collects state fees and taxes for Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), and must hold a bond securing that money. The amount is set by DVS under Minn. Stat. 171.061 and its rules; the premium is 0.5% of your bond amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard agent bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with DVS. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount DVS required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit fields in the application, and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick underwriting review.
Submit the executed bond with your driver licensing agent appointment paperwork. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever DVS insists.
Minnesota appoints driver licensing agents to take driver’s license and ID applications and collect the related state fees and taxes for Driver and Vehicle Services. Because the agent handles public money, the appointment is conditioned on a bond that secures the fees and taxes collected.
The bond requirement sits under Minn. Stat. 171.061, which directs the commissioner to adopt rules covering, among other things, depositing funds and holding proper bonds; the specific amount comes from DVS for your appointment. If you are also a deputy registrar, the statute requires a separate bond for the agent role on top of your deputy registrar bond.
If an agent fails to remit the fees and taxes collected, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the agent repays the surety. We issue the amount DVS set, with pricing from $100 and no credit fields in the application.
Submit the application with the bond amount DVS set — the executed agent bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
