What Is a Bonded Title?

A bonded title (also called a surety bond title) is a legal way to obtain a vehicle title when the original is lost, missing, or was never properly transferred.

It involves purchasing a surety bond for a set amount (typically 1.5x the vehicle's value) and filing it with your state DMV. After a holding period, usually 3 years, the bond expires and you have a clean title.

The process varies significantly by state. Our guides eliminate the guesswork with exact bond formulas, required forms, filing locations, fees, and timelines for your specific state.
