LA school solicitor permit bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Anyone who sells a course of instruction or recruits students for a Louisiana proprietary school must hold a solicitor permit, backed by a $1,000 surety bond under R.S. 17:3141.9. At 3% the bond lands below our floor, so it’s our $275 minimum — and it issues fast.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana regulates proprietary schools — private trade, career, and vocational schools — through the Board of Regents. Under R.S. 17:3141.9, no one may sell a course of instruction or recruit students for such a school without first obtaining a solicitor permit, and the permit application must be accompanied by a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond is continuous, issued by a surety authorized in Louisiana, and filed with the commissioner of higher education. It is conditioned to indemnify any student who suffers a loss from fraud or misrepresentation the solicitor used to procure enrollment.
A solicitor who represents more than one school needs a separate permit for each. If you recruit for a single school, this individual $1,000 bond is your filing; a school covering all its solicitors at once uses a blanket bond instead. We issue either at honest, flat pricing.
