NE auction dealer bonds.
$3,000 flat. Soft pull.
Nebraska requires a licensed motor vehicle auction dealer to file a $100,000 bond with the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board — double the standard dealer bond. Ours is $3,000 flat — 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

A larger bond may get a closer look, but most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The soft pull never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nebraska licenses motor vehicle auction dealers through the Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board and sets their bond at $100,000 — twice the standard dealer figure, reflecting the volume of vehicles and money that move through an auction.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee backing the auction’s compliance with the Nebraska Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Act — clear title, proper handling of funds, and honest dealing. Harmed buyers, sellers, and dealers can recover against it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Auctions that deliver clean title and settle accounts promptly treat the bond as a license formality.
