Maryland Information Requestor of Driver or Vehicle Records Bond
Overview
Businesses and individuals who access Maryland driver or vehicle records through the Motor Vehicle Administration must carry this bond before they can be approved as authorized information requestors. Maryland requires this bond to protect drivers and vehicle owners from unauthorized or improper use of their personal records. It guarantees that your organization will handle requested data only for permitted purposes and in compliance with state requirements. If you have been told you need this bond to apply for requestor status with the MVA, you are in the right place.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your business has applied — or is about to apply — to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to access driver or vehicle record data. Any company or individual seeking approved requestor status with the MVA must post this bond as part of the application package. That includes insurance companies, private investigators, employers conducting background screening, fleet managers, and data resellers who have a legitimate permissible-use purpose under Maryland law. If the MVA has told you a surety bond is required before your access will be granted, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Maryland drivers and vehicle owners from harm caused by an approved information requestor who misuses or improperly discloses their personal records. As the principal, you are bound to access and use driver and vehicle data only for the purposes the MVA has authorized. The Maryland MVA is the obligee — the agency holding the bond — and it can call on the bond if your organization violates the terms of your requestor authorization. The bond is not insurance for your business; it is a financial guarantee to the state and the public that you will comply.
When is it Required?
Before the MVA will grant or renew your information requestor authorization, this bond must already be in place. The bond is a prerequisite to approval, not something you can obtain after access has been granted. Submitting your application without a valid bond in hand will delay or prevent your authorization from issuing. Get the bond first, then complete your MVA requestor application.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Maryland requirement administered by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. It applies to any entity — regardless of where it is headquartered — that seeks approved access to Maryland driver or vehicle records. There is no local or county equivalent; the obligation runs directly to the state MVA.
