North Carolina licenses commercial truck driver training through the DMV under 19A NCAC 03J. A provider offering seminar training only files a $10,000 bond that protects students’ tuition — ours is $300 flat (3% of the bond), with no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details, the county where the seminar is located, and an effective date. That is the application — no credit check section.
Fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your seminar training license.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
North Carolina licenses commercial truck (CDL) driver training through the DMV under 19A NCAC 03J. The rules treat seminar-only training — classroom instruction without the full behind-the-wheel program — as its own category, bonded at $10,000.
The rule sets $30,000 for a full school offering 160 hours or more of instruction, and $10,000 for seminar training only. This page is the seminar bond — if you run a full course, you need the $30,000 school bond instead, and we write that too.
The bond runs to the DMV for the benefit of enrolled students: if the provider fails to deliver the seminar training students paid for, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the provider repays the surety. It is not insurance for the provider.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond does not have one.
