About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the fleet installment bond covers

Minnesota lets qualifying fleets register under a single fleet account through Driver and Vehicle Services, under Minn. Stat. Chapter 168 (including the fleet registration provisions at section 168.127). Where DVS allows a fleet operator to pay its registration fees on a deferred or installment schedule, it can require security for the fees that are not yet paid.

This bond is that security. It stands behind the registration fees the operator owes but is paying over time, so the state is protected if an installment is missed. The amount is set by DVS based on the fees being deferred across your fleet.

If a fleet operator fails to pay the deferred fees, the state can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. Because the precise mechanics are administered by DVS, confirm your required amount on your fleet paperwork; we then issue it with pricing from $100 and no credit fields in the application.

Minn. Stat. ch. 168 (fleet registration, DVS)Minnesota fleet vehicle registration is governed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 168 and administered by Driver and Vehicle Services. When DVS allows a fleet operator to pay registration fees on a deferred or installment basis, it may require a bond securing the unpaid fees. The exact amount and mechanics are set by DVS — confirm the figure on your fleet/installment paperwork before issuing.
