About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia’s DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program — often called DUI school — is administered by the Department of Driver Services’ Regulatory Compliance Division. An operator must file a $10,000 surety bond for each program location, with DDS named as the obligee.

The bond is a compliance guarantee: it backs the operator’s obligation to follow O.C.G.A. Title 40 and the DDS program rules — including the assessment and intervention components and the per-student state fee. If the operator violates the program law, DDS and harmed parties can recover against the bond up to $10,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Each program location needs its own bond, written by a company authorized to do business in Georgia.

O.C.G.A. § 40-5-83; Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 375-5-6Georgia DUI alcohol or drug use risk reduction programs are regulated by the Department of Driver Services under O.C.G.A. § 40-5-83 and DDS Rule Chapter 375-5-6. An operator must post a $10,000 surety bond for each location, naming DDS as obligee, guaranteeing compliance with Title 40 and the program rules. Confirm the per-location requirement on your DDS application.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Georgia risk reduction program bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond, the same for every operator. The $10,000 is set by DDS per location, so there is no quote process.
Is this the DUI school bond? +
Yes. The DUI alcohol or drug use risk reduction program is the program commonly called DUI school. DDS requires this $10,000 bond per location to operate one.
Do I need a bond for each location? +
Yes. DDS requires a $10,000 bond for each program location, with aggregate liability capped at $10,000 per location. Two sites means two bonds.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the application has no credit section. Fixed $10,000 license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while your program is approved. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out with autopay available so your DDS approval never lapses over a missed bond.
