What it is and who needs it.
What the school bond actually covers
Oklahoma licenses cosmetology and barber schools through its licensing board under Title 59. Because a school takes tuition up front and signs enrollment contracts with its students, the state requires a surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of those contracts.
The amount is set by formula: $2,000 for the first instructor, plus $1,000 for each additional instructor at the school. If your instructor count changes, the required bond changes with it. The bond is filed in a form approved by the Attorney General and recorded with the Secretary of State.
If the school breaches a student contract — closing mid-program, failing to deliver paid-for instruction — any student injured can sue on the bond. If the surety pays, the school repays the surety. Whatever amount your instructor count requires, we issue it from $100, priced at the application; no credit check up to $25,000.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, June 30, in the year your term ends.
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 Board. The bond is filed with the Board (in a form approved by the Attorney General and recorded with the Secretary of State). This bond carries a statutory June 30 renewal date. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
