About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the third-party tester bond actually covers

Nevada lets approved third-party companies and schools administer the skills test for a commercial driver's license, under the certification rules in NAC Chapter 483 and the DMV's third-party program. To be certified, a company or school must maintain a bond that backs the integrity of the testing it performs.

The bond pays to retest drivers and covers monetary damages if the company or school — or one of its certifiers — fraudulently administers skills tests or otherwise violates Chapter 483. Its amount is keyed to your annual testing volume: not less than $35,000 for up to 100 applicants a year, $70,000 up to 200, $100,000 up to 300, and $175,000 above 300.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Testers who run honest exams treat the bond as a certification formality, and we issue whatever amount your volume requires at a flat 3% with no credit check.

NAC Chapter 483 (third-party CDL certification)Nevada's third-party CDL skills-testing program runs under NAC Chapter 483. A third-party company or school must maintain a bond to retest drivers and cover damages if it or a certifier fraudulently administers skills tests or violates Chapter 483, in an amount of not less than $35,000 (up to 100 applicants/year), $70,000 (101–200), $100,000 (201–300), and $175,000 (more than 300). Confirm your required amount with the DMV.

How much is the Nevada CDL third-party tester bond? +

Count the applicants you expect to skills-test per year: up to 100 is $35,000, up to 200 is $70,000, up to 300 is $100,000, and more than 300 is $175,000. The DMV confirms your tier — send us your volume and we will issue the matching amount.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It pays to retest drivers and covers damages if your company or school, or one of its certifiers, fraudulently administers skills tests or violates Chapter 483. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
Does a company and a school need separate bonds? +
Each certified third-party company or school carries its own bond at the amount its testing volume requires. If you operate both, confirm with the DMV whether one or two filings apply, and we will issue accordingly.
