What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana certifies real estate education vendors — the providers who offer prelicensing and continuing education courses — through the Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC). Certification requires proof of a $5,000 surety bond.
The bond runs in favor of the State of Louisiana and is conditioned for the protection of the contractual rights of students who attend the vendor's real estate courses. If a vendor fails its students in a covered way, they can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
The bond must stay effective throughout the vendor's certification period, and the LREC requires annual proof of renewal. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your certification never lapses over a missed filing.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court 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
