Wyoming licenses private trade, vocational, and other schools through the Department of Education, and W.S. 21-2-405 conditions the license on a performance bond up to $10,000. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every school.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details, the subjects you teach, and an effective date. That is 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 (approved as to form by the Attorney General) arrives by email, ready to file with your private school license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Wyoming licenses private trade, correspondence, distance-education, technical, vocational, business, and other private schools through the Department of Education under W.S. 21-2-401 through 21-2-407. A performance bond is part of the license.
Under W.S. 21-2-405, the bond is not more than $10,000 and protects students. If a school ceases to operate or cannot deliver the instruction students paid for, students can recover their losses against the bond, up to the penal sum.
Accredited private degree-granting postsecondary institutions and certain other schools are exempt. The bond is approved as to form by the Attorney General and typically renews annually; it is not insurance for the school — if the surety pays a student claim, the school repays the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
