About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the driving school bond actually covers

Colorado’s Division of Motor Vehicles (Department of Revenue) certifies commercial driving schools — the for-profit schools that train new drivers and may administer the drive (skills) test — under its driver-testing and education rules at 1 CCR 204-30, Rule 8. Certification requires the school to file a surety bond naming the Department as beneficiary.

The bond protects students and the state if the school, its employees, or its agents commit misconduct that causes a monetary loss, or if the school breaches its contract with a student. The DMV raised the required amount from $2,500 to $10,000 in the current rule; a decrease or termination of the bond automatically suspends the school’s certification.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the amount can change as the DMV updates Rule 8, confirm the figure on your certification packet — then enter it here and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Who requires this bond? +
The Colorado DMV (Department of Revenue), under its driver-testing rules at 1 CCR 204-30, Rule 8. A commercial driving school can’t hold certification without an active bond — if it drops, certification is automatically suspended.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the driving school bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
Monetary losses from misconduct by the school, its employees, or agents, and breaches of the school’s contract with a student. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it’s a guarantee, not insurance for you.
Why might the amount differ from $10,000? +
The DMV sets the figure by rule and has changed it before (it was $2,500). Current Rule 8 is $10,000, but always use the amount on your certification packet — if it differs, enter that figure and we issue to match.
