How Does a Title Agent Bond Work?
As with any surety bond, this bond creates a legally-binding contract between three parties:
- Principal: The vehicle title service agent filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kansas Department of Revenue requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
As the principal, you are responsible for performing legal vehicle title and registration services. If not, harmed parties can file bond claims, which you are responsible for reimbursing.
