What this bond does

The offering supports the bond portion of a commercial driver training school certification file. It is separate from an individual instructor application and from the broader approval of the school.

Who needs it
An owner applying to certify a Georgia driver training school or maintaining the security required during school recertification.
Who it protects
The official DDS instructions identify Georgia DDS as obligee. Use its accepted school bond form to establish the covered obligations; do not treat the bond as vehicle insurance or assume it guarantees every student's outcome.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Account for each school location

DDS's current driver training page calls for a surety bond with a $10,000 principal sum for each location. Make the school entity and location information consistent across the bond and application.

A school-location requirement is not a $10,000 premium and does not establish that a single bond covers an unlimited number of branches. Have DDS and the provider confirm how multiple locations must be documented.

Keep the DDS submission separate from checkout

DDS directs applicants to submit the certification application and all supporting documents online; the page says paper applications are no longer accepted. Its school and instructor processes are described separately.

Use the provider's application to obtain the bond, then submit the required evidence through DDS's own accepted process. The regulator's review schedule is separate from the provider's issuance process, so this page promises neither immediate certification nor immediate issuance.

Prepare for recertification as well as initial purchase

For school recertification, DDS lists a continuation or verification certificate for the existing surety bond. Ask which document is needed and coordinate its dates with the school's recertification.

Purchase Now opens the supplied school offering. Compare the issued bond with the exact school name, location, DDS obligee and requested sum, and retain proof of the subsequent DDS submission.

Questions about this bond

The DDS driver training page says applications and supporting documents must be submitted online and paper applications are no longer accepted.

What does DDS list for renewal of the existing security?

The recertification checklist calls for a continuation or verification certificate for the existing bond. Confirm the document and dates for your school.

Does this purchase certify an instructor too?
