About This Bond
The State of Missouri Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is a surety bond required for businesses engaged in selling new or used motor vehicles within the state. This bond ensures compliance with state regulations governing motor vehicle sales and protects consumers from fraudulent or unethical business practices.
Class 3 franchise dealers must secure a $50,000 bond and provide a signed application with business and personal indemnity agreements, plus a clean credit report. Class 4 dealers (all other motor vehicle dealers) require a $100,000 bond along with additional documentation including business and personal financial statements. Lease or rental companies for motor vehicles, trailers, boats, or outboard motors must maintain a $100,000 bond.
This bond protects the State of Missouri and consumers who purchase vehicles from licensed dealers. It provides financial recourse if a dealer violates state laws, engages in fraudulent practices, or fails to fulfill contractual obligations to customers. The bond has a one-year term and is renewable annually to maintain active dealer licensing status.

Requirements vary by license type, but most Missouri auto dealers need to complete a short application and purchase the bond amount required by the state before their license can be issued or renewed.
Often, yes. Many states have separate bond requirements for wholesale, retail, broker, or other dealer license types. Choose the bond that matches your Missouri license instructions.
