Colorado BOST CDL Third Party Testing Bond
Overview
Running a CDL third-party testing program in Colorado? You need this bond before you can operate. Colorado requires BOST (Bureau of Special Transportation Services) CDL Third Party Testers to carry a surety bond as a condition of their authorization to administer commercial driver's license skills tests on behalf of the state. This bond holds your testing operation accountable to Colorado's standards and protects the public from fraud or misadministration of the CDL testing process.
Who Needs This Bond?
Third-party testing organizations approved or seeking approval to administer CDL skills tests in Colorado, commercial driving schools operating a BOST-authorized testing program, and independent CDL examiners running their own testing business under Colorado's third-party tester framework all need this bond. If Colorado's Division of Motor Vehicles or BOST has told you that a surety bond is required to finalize your third-party tester agreement, this is the bond you need to purchase.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your CDL third-party testing operation will comply with all Colorado requirements governing the administration of commercial driver's license skills examinations. It protects the state and the public if your organization misrepresents test results, fails to follow prescribed testing protocols, or otherwise violates the terms of your third-party tester authorization. In short, it backs your commitment to run an honest, compliant CDL testing program.
When is it Required?
Before your third-party tester agreement is executed or renewed with Colorado, the bond must already be in place. BOST or the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles will require proof of the bond as part of your authorization package — you cannot begin administering CDL skills tests until this requirement is satisfied. Have the bond ready to submit alongside your application or renewal documentation.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Colorado requirement. It applies to any organization or individual authorized by Colorado's BOST program to conduct CDL third-party skills testing anywhere in the state. There is no local or county variation — the obligation runs directly to the state of Colorado.
