NV authorized station bonds.
$100. Test & repair.

A Nevada authorized station that tests and repairs emissions must file a fixed $1,000 bond with the Department of Motor Vehicles under NAC 445B.465. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nevada's vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program runs under NRS Chapter 445B and its regulations, administered by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Before the DMV authorizes a station, NAC 445B.465 requires the applicant to file a good and sufficient $1,000 bond, approved as to form by the Attorney General.

The bond protects against violations of the emissions program: any person, including the Department, injured by the station or its employees in violation of NRS Chapters 445A, 445B, and 598 (and the related regulations) may bring an action on the bond. A test-and-repair authorization lets the station both test emissions and perform the repairs needed to pass.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Stations that follow the program rules treat the bond as an authorization formality, and we keep your $1,000 filing continuous.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nevada test-and-repair station bond?The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond. The $1,000 bond amount is set by NAC 445B.465.

Do I pay the $1,000?No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How is this different from the test-only bond?Both are $1,000 bonds at $100. The difference is your DMV authorization: a test-and-repair station tests emissions and performs the repairs to pass, while a test-only station tests but does no on-site repairs. We carry a separate page for each so the bond names the right authorization.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all — small fixed-amount station bonds like this one don't need any. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as your station authorization is in force. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
