How Does an Ohio CDL Third Party Tester Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a CDL third party tester bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the third-party tester filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Ohio Department of Public Safety requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Ohio Administrative Code Rule 4501-47-03. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your CDL third party tester bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
