To run a driver improvement clinic in Georgia, the Department of Driver Services requires a $10,000 continuous surety bond for each clinic location, protecting students’ contractual rights. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond — with no credit check.
















Driver Services bonds are simple to issue. Here's the whole thing:
Business details, your clinic location, and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount license bonds like this issue quickly — many right after purchase, at most 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your driver improvement clinic certificate application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term, per location. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Georgia certifies driver improvement clinics through the Department of Driver Services. A clinic must file a continuous $10,000 surety bond for each location as a condition of certification, naming DDS as the obligee.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it backs the contractual rights of students who pay for and enroll in clinic courses. If a clinic fails to deliver the contracted instruction or otherwise breaches student contracts, a harmed student can recover against the bond up to $10,000 per location.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a student claim, you repay the surety. Each location you operate needs its own bond; the aggregate liability per bond never exceeds $10,000.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
