How Vehicle Title Bonds Work
Getting a bonded title is a short, four-step process. Here is what to expect from estimate to DMV submission.
Trusted by thousands · Easy online process · Quick turnaround1. Confirm you need a bonded title
Your DMV or motor vehicle agency will tell you when a title bond is required — typically when the original title is lost, defective, or improperly assigned.
2. Determine your bond amount
Most states base the required bond amount on your vehicle’s fair market value or a state multiplier. Enter your value in the calculator to estimate it.
3. Buy your bond online
Choose your state, review your instant price, and complete the application. Many bonds issue quickly; larger amounts may require a short review.
4. Submit it to the DMV
File the signed bond with your bonded-title application at the DMV. The bond does not replace the DMV process — it is one of the required documents.
