What the bonded title actually does
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Alabama lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under Ala. Code §32-8-36. You post a surety bond, the Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division issues a certificate of title in your name, and the bond protects anyone who later proves a superior claim to the vehicle.
The bond amount is one and one-half times the value of the vehicle as determined by the department. The bond is conditioned to indemnify any prior owner, lienholder, or later purchaser against loss from the issuance of the title or any undisclosed security interest. By rule (Ala. Admin. Code 810-5-75-.34), the bonded title is so noted, and the bond is filed with the application.
If someone with a better claim comes forward and is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond remains in effect for three years, after which the bonded notation clears. Enter the figure the department requires, and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
