What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana licenses privately owned driving schools (driver training schools) through the Department of Public Safety's Office of Motor Vehicles. The license is conditioned on a $20,000 surety bond from a company qualified to do business in the state.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee. It stands behind the prepaid tuition and the obligations a school owes its students — if a school takes payment and fails to deliver the training, or otherwise violates the driver-training rules, a harmed student can recover against the bond.
The same $20,000 bond is required when a school changes its name or ownership. The bond must stay active for the life of the license — we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.

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 $20,000 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 the Office of Motor Vehicles. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your driving school license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $400 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
