About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the driver school bond covers

Wisconsin licenses driver schools through the Department of Transportation under Wis. Stat. 343.61. The statute requires the school to file a bond "in the form and amount established by the department by rule" — so the amount is set in administrative code (Wis. Admin. Code ch. Trans 105) rather than fixed in the statute.

In practice the required amount can vary by school — the department's rules tie it to factors such as the number of students and the school's record. Because there is no single statutory figure, the safest approach is to use the amount the DOT names on your paperwork.

The bond protects students and the state if the school fails to meet its obligations under the driver-education laws. We issue the amount the DOT requires, on form MV3764, pricing from $100 — no credit check up to $25,000, and if you are unsure of the amount, send us your DOT paperwork and we will confirm it.

Wis. Stat. 343.61 (form MV3764)Wis. Stat. 343.61 requires a driver school to file a bond with the Department of Transportation in the form and amount established by the department by rule (Wis. Admin. Code ch. Trans 105), on form MV3764. The statute does not fix a single dollar amount — it is set administratively and can vary by school. Confirm the required amount on your DOT paperwork before purchasing.

After you buy

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

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 DOT. Submit the executed bond (form MV3764) with your driver school license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.

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.
