Three steps to registered.
Your certificate of registration is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, a few commercial questions, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Mississippi licenses proprietary (private vocational and career) schools through the Commission on Proprietary School and College Registration under the Proprietary Schools and Colleges law (Mississippi Code chapter 75-60). A school's certificate of registration is conditioned on a $50,000 surety bond.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee. Under Miss. Code § 75-60-17, it indemnifies any person who suffers loss as a result of a false certification, a school closing, or fraud or misrepresentation used to procure enrollment — including the repayment of tuition paid in advance by a student.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee), with your students as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — schools that deliver the training students paid for treat the bond as a registration formality.

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 $50,000 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
E-sign & file with the CPSCR. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your certificate of registration application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
