Oklahoma licenses private vocational schools through the Board of Private Vocational Schools (OBPVS) and conditions the license on a surety bond protecting students’ tuition. The amount starts at $5,000 and scales with student payments — we issue whatever your relicensing requires from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard private school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the OBPVS. Here is the whole thing:
Your school details, the bond amount the OBPVS requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applicants get the executed bond as soon as they pay. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that won't affect your score.
Submit the executed bond on the OBPVS bond form with your license application or annual relicensing. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Oklahoma regulates private vocational and trade schools through the Board of Private Vocational Schools (OBPVS). A school's license is not effective until it has filed a corporate surety bond (or a certificate of deposit) with the Board — the bond that protects students who have paid tuition.
Under 70 O.S. §21-106 and the OBPVS rules (OAC 565:10-9), the bond is a blanket guarantee covering the school, its branches, officials, and solicitors, with coverage dated to the July 1–June 30 licensing year. If a school closes or fails to deliver the training a student paid for, the student can recover against the bond.
The amount starts at $5,000 for a new school and, at relicensing, is set at roughly 10% of the prior year's student payments — generally capped at $50,000 (with a higher cap for schools that do not meet the financial-stability rules). Enter the figure the OBPVS requires and we issue it from a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the amount the OBPVS requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file. No credit section in the application.
