How Does an Arizona Electronic Records Access Bond Work?
An Arizona MVR bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: The entity pulling records and filing the bond
- Obligee: The Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
As the principal, you are financially liable for upholding the bond terms. If not, parties harmed by your actions can file claims for reimbursement. The surety will pay valid claims, but you must repay the surety in full.
