What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with DDS. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your driver improvement clinic certificate application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
