What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A designated agent of the Mississippi Department of Revenue performs motor vehicle titling duties — forwarding applications for certificates of title, inspecting the vehicle, identifying the applicant, and submitting the certificate of inspection. The Department appoints non-dealer agents (banks, credit unions, finance companies, and others) who post a bond.
The bond is payable to the State of Mississippi and conditioned on the faithful performance of those titling duties. If the agent commits fraud or misconduct — for example, processing a fraudulent title — a harmed person can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The statute sets a $5,000 minimum for non-dealer agents (licensed dealers post not less than $15,000); the bond stays in effect for as long as you hold the appointment. No credit check. Most applications approve instantly.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Revenue. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email; the original bond is mailed to you to sign and file with your designated agent appointment.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
