Utah licenses commercial driver training schools through the Driver License Division of the Department of Public Safety, under Utah Code Title 53, Chapter 3, Part 5 (the Commercial Driver Training Schools Act). A school that teaches driving for pay must hold a license, and the Division conditions it on a surety bond.
Administrative Rule R708-2-5 sets the bond at a minimum of $5,000, though a testing-only school is generally not required to bond unless it has been authorized to conduct behind-the-wheel training. The bond protects students and the public against a school's failure to meet its obligations under the Act.
It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Utah, with harmed students as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so schools that operate straight treat the bond as a license formality. Enter the amount the Division named and we issue it at a flat 3%.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Driver License Division required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
