A Class B driver training school — one that trains drivers in ordinary, non-commercial vehicles — must file a $5,000 bond with the Virginia DMV under Code of Virginia § 46.2-1703. Ours is $100 flat, the price our carrier rate book sets for this bond, and the application collects no credit information.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
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 Class B driver training school license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Virginia licenses driver training schools through the DMV under Title 46.2, Chapter 17. A Class B license is required of schools that train students in operating motor vehicles other than motorcycles and commercial motor vehicles — the ordinary teen and adult driver education program — and the applicant must file a $5,000 surety bond payable to the Commonwealth.
The bond is conditioned to protect the contractual rights of students and to indemnify anyone harmed by the school's violation of Chapter 17 or by fraud or misrepresentation. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Commonwealth (the obligee), with your students as the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Schools that honor their enrollment contracts treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
