Pennsylvania Full Agent Bond

The Pennsylvania Full Agent Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The bond amount is set at $30,000. The surety bond is required by any individual or entity that is authorized by PennDOT to issue temporary registration cards and plates. This includes:

• Motor vehicle dealers
• Manufacturers

Full agents must obtain a $30,000 Pennsylvania Full Agent Bond for each place of business they operate. The bond ensures that the full agent will comply with all state laws and regulations governing the sale and registration of motor vehicles.
