What Is a Bonded Title (Lost Title Bond)?
A bonded title, also known as a lost title bond, is a surety bond required by the DMV when you need to register or sell a vehicle but do not have a valid title.
This bond protects the state and any rightful owner from:
Ownership disputes
Fraudulent title claims
Errors in previous ownership transfers
Once the bond is filed, the DMV issues a bonded title, allowing you to legally register, insure, or sell the vehicle.
Bonded Title Amount & Cost
Bond amounts are set by the DMV and are typically 1.5x the vehicle’s value.
Your cost depends on:
Bond amount
Vehicle value
State requirements
Most bonded title bonds cost $100–$150 for standard vehicles.
One simple application — we pull your exact state bond rules and required amount instantly.
Who Needs a Bonded Title?
You may need a bonded title if:
You bought a vehicle without a title
The title was lost, stolen, or damaged
The seller never transferred the title
The title has errors or missing information
You inherited a vehicle without proper paperwork
If the DMV cannot verify ownership, they will require this bond.
