Motor Vehicle Title / Vessel

ORDER Motor Vehicle Title Bond Here 

The motor vehicle title bond is required to register or transfer a vehicle when evidence of ownership is not available. It is commonly used when the original vehicle title has been lost, misplaced, destroyed, or was not received by the buyer. This bond has several different names including Defective Title Bond, Lost Title Bond, Certificate of Title Bond or Motor Vehicle Ownership Surety Bond (REG 5057). 


The Undocumented Vessel Surety Bond (REG 5058) is used for vessels if proof of ownership cannot be provided and the vessel's value is $2,000 or more.
