Title Bonds for Missing Car Titles
Claim ownership of your vehicle without a title.
What is a title bond?
A title bond (also called a certificate of title bond) proves you own a vehicle when the original title is missing. Once purchased, the bond attaches to your new title — now called a bonded title. Without it, you can’t legally register, sell, transfer, or insure the vehicle.
Why it matters: Title bonds protect previous owners and lenders from potential claims.
Who needs one?
You may need a bonded version of a car title if…
- The original title is missing or stolen
- You bought a car without receiving a valid title
How much do title bonds cost?
Title bonds typically cost 1-2% of the bond amount required. Once your title bond expires, you can apply for a clean certificate of title with your state.
What do I need to apply for a bonded title?
- Bond amount (set by the DMV), typically 1.5 times your vehicle’s value
- Value of your vehicle
- Make, model, and year
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
