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 $275 flat — the $1,000 bond lands at our minimum premium. Five-minute application, no credit check.
















Station bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small station bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your emissions station authorization. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, but our minimum premium is $275 — so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
