About this bond

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.

O.C.G.A. § 43-12A-4 (Dept. of Driver Services)Georgia’s ignition interlock provider statute (O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 12A) conditions approval of an interlock provider center on a $10,000 surety bond for each center, naming the Department of Driver Services as obligee, securing compliance with the program rules. Confirm the per-center amount on your DDS application — we issue the $10,000 bond the program names.

You need this bond if you’re

Opening an interlock provider center — one $10,000 bond filed per location
Renewing your DDS approval and your current bond is expiring or non-renewing
Adding a service location that DDS ties to a separate bond filing
A device manufacturer’s installer setting up centers in Georgia

Five minutes. The whole thing.

These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia ignition interlock provider bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every provider. The $10,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a bond for each location? +
Generally yes — the requirement is a $10,000 bond for each provider center, naming the Department of Driver Services as obligee. If you’re unsure how many your DDS approval requires, send us your application and we’ll confirm.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as DDS approves your center. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
