How Does a California Vehicle Remanufacturer Bond Work? 

A vehicle remanufacturer bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the vehicle remanufacturer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The California DMV, Occupational Licensing Branch requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding all applicable provisions of California Vehicle Code. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your vehicle remanufacturer bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
