LA driving school bonds.

Louisiana requires a privately owned driving school to file a $20,000 bond with the Office of Motor Vehicles. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every school. The application is five minutes, and there is no credit check on this bond.

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.
