Three steps to licensed.
Your WisDOT moped dealer license is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Wisconsin regulates moped dealers as part of its motor vehicle dealer framework in Chapter 218, administered by WisDOT. The dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind clear title on the mopeds you sell and your compliance with Wisconsin dealer law.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin together with harmed buyers. If a dealer fails to deliver clear title, misapplies a customer’s money, or otherwise violates dealer law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The moped dealer bond is $5,000 — a smaller figure than the $25,000 wholesaler or salvage dealer bonds. The bond financial-qualification rules sit in §218.11; confirm the exact figure on your WisDOT application if your license class differs.

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 $5,000 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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
