How do I make a surety bond claim?

Many independent dealers are required to have a surety bond, and these dealers must post a bond notice at their business location near their dealer license. This notice includes contact information for the dealer’s bond company so customers have the information necessary to file a claim.

The surety bond requirement applies to all GDN license types except for Trailer/Semitrailer and Non-Motorized Travel Trailer. The bond requirement does not apply to Franchised dealers issued a GDN license associated to a Franchised dealer license.

If bond information is not posted in the dealer’s office, motorists can submit a Public Information Act (PIA) request to get the name of the dealer’s bond company.
