Georgia requires every ignition interlock provider center to file a fixed $10,000 bond with the Department of Driver Services before it operates. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application takes about five minutes.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small fixed license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed $10,000 bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Department of Driver Services for your interlock provider center. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
