The surety bond is just one of the requirements of the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain the “Regulated Business License”.  It is illegal to sell motor vehicles to consumers in Connecticut without a Connecticut dealer license. It’s also illegal to sell motor vehicles within Connecticut if you only have an out-of-state dealer license.  The state distinguishes between new, franchise dealer licenses and used car licenses.
