When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Arizona lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under A.R.S. 28-2058 and the Motor Vehicle Division issues the title. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the amount is one and a half times the vehicle's value.
















No underwriting queue for the standard title bond — enter your amount, pay, and take the executed bond to the MVD. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the vehicle, and the bond amount (1.5x the vehicle's value) — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Take the executed bond, your vehicle inspection, and the bonded title application to the MVD to get your bonded title. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Bond amount is 1.5x the vehicle's value — enter it and the premium updates.
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Arizona lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under A.R.S. 28-2058. You post a surety bond, the 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 a half times the vehicle's value as determined by the MVD. The MVD also requires a Level III vehicle inspection and a bonded-title application affidavit certifying that you own the vehicle and explaining why you need a bonded title.
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 stays in effect until three years after the vehicle is no longer registered in Arizona, after which a clean title can issue.
Submit the application with your bond amount (1.5x the vehicle's value) — the executed title bond is generated instantly, ready to take to the MVD.
