Wisconsin licenses motorcycle and driver training schools through WisDOT, and conditions the license on a bond protecting students’ prepaid tuition under Wis. Admin. Code Trans 105. At the $20,000 tier, ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount, no credit check on this bond.
















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 check section.
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 motorcycle/driver school license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Wisconsin licenses motorcycle (rider) and driver training schools through WisDOT, and conditions the license on a bond under Wis. Admin. Code Trans 105. The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it lets a customer recover from the surety if the school cannot meet the obligations of its training contract — for example, prepaid tuition for courses not delivered.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the school, the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin together with your students. WisDOT sets the bond amount from the size of the school and points assessed during the prior license period — so different schools post different figures, and the same school’s amount can change over time.
This page is the $20,000 tier. If your WisDOT determination places you at $40,000 (a larger school or more points), we write that one too — confirm the amount on your license paperwork before issuing.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
