About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the title service bond actually guarantees

A motor vehicle title service is a business that processes title and registration paperwork on behalf of others — dealers, fleets, and the public — handling certificates of ownership and the fees that go with them. Missouri requires these businesses to register with the Department of Revenue and post a $25,000 surety bond.

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind the honest handling of titles, registrations, and the money that passes through a title service. If the business commits fraud, mishandles documents, or fails to remit fees, the harmed customer or the state can recover against the bond.

It is a three-party arrangement, not insurance for you: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Missouri (the obligee), with your customers protected. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Missouri title service bond?The premium is $250 — a flat price for the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every title service. The $25,000 is fixed, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?The application has no credit section at all — most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it’s a soft pull that won’t touch your score.
Who requires it?The Missouri Department of Revenue requires it to register a motor vehicle title service business. Confirm the current registration steps and bond form with the Department of Revenue.
When does it renew?You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term. The bond must stay active for your registration to remain valid; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
