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.

NAC 445B.465 (under NRS Chapter 445B)Nevada's emissions inspection program is set under NRS Chapter 445B, and NAC 445B.465 requires an applicant for an authorized station or authorized inspection station to file a $1,000 surety bond with the Department of Motor Vehicles, approved as to form by the Attorney General. Any person, including the Department, injured by a violation of NRS Chapters 445A, 445B, and 598 may bring an action on the bond.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Nevada test-and-repair station bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $1,000 bond would be $30, but it falls below the $275 minimum, so $275 is the price. The $1,000 amount is set by NAC 445B.465.
Do I pay the $1,000? +
No. You pay $275. 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 $275. 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? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount station bonds like this one don't need one.
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.
