Becoming a PennDOT Card Agent<\/span><\/h3>\r\nA card agent can issue temporary registration cards<\/strong> in connection with the transfer of an existing <\/strong>vehicle registration plate.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs an example:<\/strong><\/span>\r\nJake wants to transfer his existing registration plates from his car to his truck.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCarmen, the card agent, can complete the transfer of registration form and issue a temporary registration card.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf Jake wants to register a new vehicle, Carmen would not be able to provide that service.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHowever, the advantage of becoming a card agent is that it is relatively simple to get started. <\/span>To become a card agent you will only need to meet the following requirements:\r\n<\/span>\r\n

\r\n \t
• Be a Commissioned Notary Public\r\n<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
• Pass a Criminal Background Check\r\n<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
• Post a $3,000 Surety Bond<\/span>\r\n<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe surety bond is issued on behalf of PennDOT and does NOT protect the you. If you violate the terms of your agent service contract and cause financial harm to a citizen, PennDOT can use the bond to repay the citizen. You would then be required to repay the bond company. The average cost of a bond is between $100 - $300 dollars and remains active for three years.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCard agents must also maintain a physical location and have a plan to secure temporary registration cards<\/span>\r\n\r\nCard agent contracts are good for three years.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSee Card Agent Contract Below<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\n[elfsight_pdf_embed id=\"10\"]<\/span>","post_title":"Grow Your Notary Business: Become a PennDOT Card Agent","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-to-become-a-penndot-card-agent","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-05 07:02:18","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-05 11:02:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/thepanotary.com\/?p=11418","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11343,"post_author":"540","post_date":"2019-03-01 15:08:30","post_date_gmt":"2019-03-01 20:08:30","post_content":"Effective March 1, 2019, PennDOT is now issuing Real IDs in Pennsylvania.<\/span>\r\n\r\n
