What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 $20,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 WisDOT. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your motorcycle/driver school license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
