The statute sets it at $10,000 (DMV form OBL-277), reducible to $5,000 after five satisfactory years; premiums start from $100, with no credit section in the application.

The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond (form OBL-277), signed by a principal of the school, with your operator license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the DMV insists.
Nevada licenses driving schools through the DMV under the driving-school provisions of NRS Chapter 483. NRS 483.770 conditions an operator's license on a continuous surety bond, and the DMV files it on form OBL-277 — it must be signed by a principal of the school and executed by a corporate surety authorized in Nevada.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. It is conditioned that the operator runs the school without fraud or fraudulent representation — so students who are defrauded, or who pay for instruction the school fails to deliver, have a financial backstop to recover against.
The statutory amount is $10,000, and the DMV may reduce it to $5,000 for an operator who has satisfactorily conducted the school for the five years immediately preceding the request. Whatever amount applies to you, premiums start from $100, with no credit section in the application.
Submit the application with the bond amount the DMV requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your license application.
