Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
A $100,000 bond gets a brief underwriting look; if anything else is needed, an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A motor vehicle broker arranges or negotiates vehicle sales between buyers and sellers for a fee, without holding the vehicles in inventory. Nevada licenses brokers through the DMV under Chapter 482, and NRS 482.3333 requires a broker to procure and file a $100,000 bond before licensure.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. By statute it is conditioned on the broker conducting business without breaching a consumer contract, engaging in a deceptive trade practice, fraud, or fraudulent representation, and without violating Chapter 482. Consumers injured by the broker or its employees have recourse against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay in force for the life of your broker license. Brokers who deal straight with their customers treat it as a license formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the DMV. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your motor vehicle broker license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.
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.
