Why is a West Virginia Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond Required?
The purpose of the bond is to protect against fraud or fraudulent representation on the part of the bonded dealer when such actions result in a financial loss to State of West Virginia, a purchaser, seller, financial institution or agency. The surety bond may be cancelled with the West Virginia DMV through thirty days written notice via certified mail from the surety company.
