Bail Enforcer
New & Renewal License Applicants
New license applications and license renewal applications are submitted through the Thentia Portals. CLEET will no longer accept paper applications.
Application payment can be made by online credit card, certified check, company check, or money order. Please make sure payment includes invoice number and is for only one applicant fee (not multiple). Payment will be returned if payment is not the exact amount that is required on the invoice.
