What is a Public License Tag Agent?

In Louisiana, tag agents possess authority from the municipality to provide auto tag and registration services.

The Department of Public Safety, Office of Motor Vehicles governs the Office of Motor Vehicles to designate tag agents. The state provides jurisdiction to agents, such as:

• Collecting registration license sales and taxes,
• Issuing vehicle registration and license plates,
• Processing applications for certificates of title,
• & Recording liens, mortgages, or social security interests pertaining to motor vehicles

The bond states that the bondholder shall pay or cause to be paid all loss, damages, and expenses that may be occasioned by reason of the failure of title or by reason of any fraudulent misrepresentation and/or breaches of warranty as to freedom from liens, and has properly disposed of any sales tax collected by the principal at the time of the transaction. The Louisiana Public License Tag Agent Bond is not insurance for the applicant. If a claim is made on the bond by the state, the surety will expect the license tag agent to settle the claim with the state. Failure to do so will result in the surety exercising its rights under the signed indemnity agreement.
