A representative who solicits students for a private postsecondary school in Alabama must hold a $2,500 agent bond, permitted through the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) under Ala. Code §16-46. At a flat 3% that math is $75 — below our floor — so this bond is $275, our minimum premium.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your private school agent permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
3% of $2,500 is $75, but our minimum premium is $275 — so a 1-year term is $275. Multi-year terms multiply the $275 floor.
A private school agent in Alabama is a representative who, for a private postsecondary school, solicits or enrolls students. The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) issues the agent permit, and Ala. Code §16-46 conditions it on a $2,500 surety bond.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it protects any student who suffers loss from the agent’s misrepresentation, false advertising, breach of contract, or soliciting without a permit. Students who are harmed can file a complaint with ACCS and recover against the bond.
It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Alabama through ACCS, with prospective students as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — agents who represent schools honestly treat the bond as a routine permit formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
