What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey requires many DWI offenders to drive only vehicles fitted with an ignition interlock device — a breath-alcohol interlock that prevents the car from starting if alcohol is detected — under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.17. Only approved service providers may install and calibrate these devices, and the installer bond backs that work.
The bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee. It stands behind the installer's obligation to install, service, and report on devices according to the program's rules, so the courts and the Motor Vehicle Commission can rely on accurate interlock compliance. If an installer's misconduct causes a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you hold the installer approval. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your approval never lapses over a missed renewal.

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 $10,000 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
File with the program. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the agency or program administering your interlock-installer approval. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
