What it is and who needs it.
What the disseminator bond actually covers
Oregon generally prohibits the DMV from releasing personal information from motor-vehicle records (ORS 802.177), with narrow exceptions. A disseminator is a business the DMV authorizes to resell that record data to permitted requesters — and ORS 802.179 conditions that authorization on a $25,000 performance bond and a written disseminator contract.
The bond is the state's protection that the disseminator follows the contract's restrictions — releasing personal information only to authorized requesters, not redistributing it in bulk, and being able to delay release up to two days for non-subscribers. It is executed in favor of the State of Oregon, with the form approved by the Attorney General.
The standard amount is $25,000; the field is editable so you can enter exactly what your contract specifies. Pricing is 0.5% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $25,000.

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 ODOT / DMV. Submit the executed bond with your disseminator contract. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% 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.
