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.
