What is a California vehicle verifier surety bond?
California Vehicle Code Section 11301 requires individuals file a $5,000 surety bond along with their state vehicle verifier license application.

What is the purpose of a California vehicle verifier surety bond?
California vehicle verifier bonds require licensed vehicle verifiers to comply with the California vehicle code. If an individual working with a vehicle verifiers permit fails to do so, their issuing surety company will pay valid claims to harmed parties up to the full $5,000 bond amount. The bonded California vehicle verifier license holder must then reimburse their surety company in full for all claims paid.
If you're a licensed vehicle verifier working in California, you might also need a California defective title bond, California registration service bond, or California notary bond.
