A Colorado commercial driving school must file a surety bond with the DMV to be certified to train and test drivers. The DMV’s Rule 8 currently sets the amount at $10,000, payable to the Department of Revenue — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard driving school bond — enter your amount, pay, and you have the executed bond. Here is the whole thing:
Your school details, the bond amount your certification requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your commercial driving school certification packet. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. The Rule 8 amount is currently $10,000 — enter it and the premium updates.
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.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the DMV.
