What it is and who needs it.
What the manufacturer bond actually guarantees
Nevada requires a license to act as a vehicle manufacturer, distributor or rebuilder under NRS 482.322, and conditions that license on a surety bond under NRS 482.345. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Nevada’s vehicle licensing and sales laws.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Nevada together with anyone injured by your conduct as a licensee (the protected parties). If you violate the chapter and someone is harmed, they can apply against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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
File with the DMV. Submit the executed bond with your DMV occupational license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
