Frequently Asked Questions

What is a certificate of title bond?

A certificate of title bond (also known as a bonded title) is required when a vehicle’s original title is missing, invalid or damaged. It allows you to prove ownership of a vehicle so the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) can issue a new bonded title. This bond protects previous owners or lienholders from potential ownership disputes.

Who needs a certificate of title bond?

You may need a title bond if:

  • Your title is lost, stolen or unreadable
  • Your title is in someone else’s name
  • You bought a vehicle without receiving a proper title
  • You’re trying to title a non-operational or salvaged vehicle

This applies to cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, boats and RVs.

How much does a certificate of title bond cost?

The cost of a certificate of title bond is $15 per $1,000 of vehicle value. The final price depends on your vehicle’s appraised value, as determined by the TxDMV. For example, if your vehicle is valued at $12,000, your bond amount would be $12,000. At $15 per $1,000, your bond premium would be approximately $180.

Who can provide certificate of title bonds?

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles requires these bonds to be issued by a licensed surety provider. ValueSure Agency is authorized to issue certificate of title bonds in Texas and offers fast, affordable service online.
