FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A bonded title (also called a certificate of title surety) is a legal document that establishes vehicle ownership when the original title is lost, stolen, or was never properly transferred. It's backed by a surety bond that protects against future ownership claims.
Bonded titles are available for vehicles that are 2014 model year or older and where the original title cannot be obtained. This includes project cars, estate vehicles, vehicles purchased without proper paperwork, and barn finds.
In most states, a bonded title converts to a clean, regular title after 3 years, as long as no ownership disputes arise during that period. After that, your title is identical to any standard title.
Yes. A bonded title gives you legal ownership rights including the ability to sell the vehicle. Some buyers may prefer to wait for the bond period to expire, but the title is fully valid.
That's what the surety bond is for. If a legitimate owner comes forward during the bond period, the bond covers their claim. After the bond period expires and no claims arise, the title becomes clean and standard.
For vehicles newer than 2014, a bonded title isn't available, but there are other options depending on your situation, including title transfer services and working directly with your state DMV. Contact us to discuss your specific case.
