About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the school bond actually covers

Oklahoma licenses cosmetology and barber schools through its licensing board under Title 59. Because a school takes tuition up front and signs enrollment contracts with its students, the state requires a surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of those contracts.

The amount is set by formula: $2,000 for the first instructor, plus $1,000 for each additional instructor at the school. If your instructor count changes, the required bond changes with it. The bond is filed in a form approved by the Attorney General and recorded with the Secretary of State.

If the school breaches a student contract — closing mid-program, failing to deliver paid-for instruction — any student injured can sue on the bond. If the surety pays, the school repays the surety. Whatever amount your instructor count requires, we issue it from $100, priced at the application; the application collects no credit information.

59 O.S. §199.7Under 59 O.S. §199.7, no cosmetology or barber school license (or renewal) issues unless the owner furnishes a surety bond of $2,000 for the first instructor plus $1,000 for each additional instructor, conditioned on the faithful performance of all contracts with enrolling students, in a form approved by the Attorney General and filed with the Secretary of State. Confirm your instructor count and amount on your school application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oklahoma cosmetology school bond?Premiums start from $100 and depend on your bond amount. The amount is $2,000 for the first instructor plus $1,000 for each additional instructor. Premiums run 1% of your bond amount with a $100 minimum — enter your figure at the application to see your exact price.
How is the bond amount calculated?By instructor count: $2,000 for the first instructor, plus $1,000 for each additional instructor at the school. If your instructor headcount changes, re-file at the new amount.
What does the bond protect?It backs the contracts the school signs with its students — the faithful performance of paid-for instruction. A student injured by a breach can sue on the bond; if the surety pays, the school repays the surety.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applicants approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a larger bond amount, it is a soft pull only and never affects your credit score.
When does it renew?This bond carries a statutory June 30 renewal date — the term you select runs to the following June 30. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your school license never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
