What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia licenses ignition interlock provider centers through the Department of Driver Services (DDS), and conditions approval on a $10,000 surety bond for each center. The bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to install, calibrate, monitor, and service interlock devices according to Georgia law and DDS rules.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee), with interlock customers as the protected parties. If a provider center violates the program rules or harms a customer, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. We track your filing and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 bond stays continuous for as long as you operate.
