Oklahoma motor license agent bonds.
From $100.
An Oklahoma motor license agent (tag agent) collects registration fees and taxes for the state, and must file a faithful-performance surety bond for what they collect under 47 O.S. § 1140. The state sets the amount — a $30,000 baseline, adjusted to your volume, never below $5,000. Premiums are 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What the agent bond actually guarantees
An Oklahoma motor license agent — a “tag agent” — is appointed to process vehicle registrations and titles and to collect the registration fees and taxes that go with them. Because an agent handles public money, the law conditions the appointment on a faithful-performance surety bond for the fees and taxes collected.
The bond is a guarantee that the agent accounts for and remits every dollar collected and faithfully performs the duties of the appointment. The beneficiary is the State of Oklahoma; if an agent fails to remit collections, the state can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by the state: under 47 O.S. § 1140 a motor license agent furnishes a faithful-performance bond of $30,000, which the state can scale up with the volume of business or reduce to a figure commensurate with that volume — but never below $5,000. (Service Oklahoma now administers tag agents, work that historically sat with the Tax Commission.) Enter the amount you were assigned and your premium (from $100, 1% of bond amount) appears at the application.

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.

What sets the price
