Lost Car Title Bond
+ Defective Vehicle Title Bond (includes donated vehicles)
If your vehicle’s title is lost, stolen, or missing proper transfer documentation, most state DMVs won’t allow you to register, sell, or insure the vehicle. A Lost Car Title Bond—also known as a Certificate of Title Bond or Bonded Title—resolves ownership gaps so you can get back on the road.
The bond guarantees financial protection for any prior owner or lienholder who might hold a legitimate, undisclosed claim to the vehicle. In turn, your DMV receives the financial guarantee required to issue you an official bonded title.
