Connecticut requires a licensed drivers’ school to file a surety bond with the DMV under CGS § 14-69, protecting students if the school fails to deliver the instruction they paid for. The commissioner sets the amount — commonly $50,000 per school. Pricing starts from $100; most applicants qualify at or near the minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard drivers’-school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the DMV. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the DMV requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit fields on the application, and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review, which is always a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond with your drivers’-school license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed when the DMV insists.
Connecticut licenses commercial drivers’ schools through the DMV, and CGS § 14-69 conditions that license on a surety bond. The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it stands behind the school’s contracts so a student who paid for instruction isn’t left empty-handed if the school fails to perform.
The statute says the bond is held by the commissioner to satisfy any execution against the school in a cause arising from the school’s failure to perform its instruction contract. So if a student is harmed and obtains a judgment, the bond is there to pay it.
CGS § 14-69 sets the amount as “such amount as the commissioner may require” rather than a fixed figure in the statute. In practice the DMV commonly requires $50,000 per school — but confirm the amount on your DMV paperwork, since the commissioner can set it. Whatever applies, pricing is variable and starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount the DMV requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
