AZ defensive driving school bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
To run a defensive driving school for traffic-citation diversion in Arizona, you get certified by the Supreme Court’s Certification & Licensing Division under ACJA § 7-205 — and that includes a surety bond. The minimum is $20,000, scaled to the fees you collect. We issue it from $100, the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the driving-school bond actually guarantees
In Arizona, defensive driving schools that let a driver dismiss a traffic citation are certified by the Supreme Court’s Certification & Licensing Division, not the motor-vehicle agency. The program runs under A.R.S. Title 28, Chapter 8, Article 7 and the administrative rule ACJA § 7-205, which conditions certification on a surety bond.
The bond protects the state and the courts against a school that collects the diversion, state, and court fees from drivers but fails to remit them. Because a school can collect a large volume of fees on the courts’ behalf, the bond is sized to that exposure.
The minimum is $20,000, and the amount scales up with the cumulative state and court fees the school handles over a measured period — for high-volume schools it can rise substantially. The bond is generally renewed annually. Whatever amount the Court sets, the application collects no credit information — pricing starts at $100, with your exact price shown at the application.
