What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A basic driver improvement course (BDIC) is the course an eligible Michigan driver can take to keep certain civil-infraction points off their record. Sponsors that deliver these courses are approved by the Secretary of State, and approval is conditioned on a $20,000 bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Michigan (the obligee). The bond is conditioned to indemnify or reimburse the Secretary of State, or an individual taking the sponsor's course, for monetary loss caused through fraud, cheating, or misrepresentation in the conduct of the sponsor's business.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are an approved sponsor. The surety can cancel only on 30 days' notice to the Secretary of State — so we track it and notify you 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 Secretary of State. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your BDIC sponsor approval application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 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.
