The City of Springfield requires a $5,000 bond before it issues an automobile repossession agent license through its Business Licensing office. Ours is $275 — the flat 3% of $5,000 is below our floor, so you pay the $275 minimum. One soft credit pull, e-signed and ready to file.
















Springfield's repossession license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Springfield Business Licensing office alongside your repossession license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum, so you pay $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Springfield licenses automobile repossession agents and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. Repossession is a regulated activity for good reason — an agent takes back a vehicle, often without the owner's cooperation — so the city wants a financial backstop that the agent will follow the law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Springfield (the obligee), with the public protected. If a repossession agent damages property, breaches the peace, or otherwise violates the city's repossession rules, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Agents who repossess cleanly and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, and it must stay active for the life of the license.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
