ADOT third-party driver license provider bonds secure performance of authorized driver-license and related MVD functions.
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under A.R.S. § 28-5101.01 - A.R.S. § 28-5104 up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Arizona obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
Amount, premium, term, and the authority that requires this filing.
Companies authorized as ADOT third-party driver license providers (and related title and registration providers) need the statutory performance bonds.
File ADOT-acceptable bonds: typically at least $300,000 for initial DL-provider authorization plus $100,000 per additional DL location, and $100,000 per location for title and registration authority, subject to statutory caps and stacking rules.
Share your license type, court order, or obligee form and the exact penal sum required by Arizona Department of Transportation - Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD).
We review credit and filing details, then quote premium options through licensed surety markets.
Once approved, we issue the bond for delivery to State of Arizona - ADOT MVD or for your Arizona filing package.
The amount is At least $300,000 for initial third-party DL provider authorization plus $100,000 per additional DL location (cap $1,000,000); $100,000 per location for title and registration authority — confirm ADOT agreement exhibits, as set under A.R.S. § 28-5101.01 - A.R.S. § 28-5104 and confirmed with Arizona Department of Transportation - Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD).
The obligee is typically State of Arizona - ADOT MVD. Always match the exact name on the Arizona form.
Many Arizona filings can be underwritten the same day when documents and credit are complete; complex amounts may take longer.
Not always. Premium and collateral options vary by credit and bond size — ask for markets that still write the risk.
Most bonds renew on the term shown (1 Year). Keep continuity so your Arizona license or filing does not lapse.
