AR certificate of title bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
When you can’t prove ownership of a vehicle, Arkansas lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under A.C.A. 27-14-409 and the DFA Office of Motor Vehicles issues the title. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the amount is 1.5× the vehicle’s appraised value.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bonded title actually does
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Arkansas lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under A.C.A. 27-14-409. You post a surety bond, the DFA Office of Motor Vehicles 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 appraised value as determined for the Office of Motor Vehicles. The OMV provides your required bond amount, so you don’t have to guess — bring it to us and we issue at that figure.
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 Arkansas title bond runs a three-year term; if no valid claim is made in that window, a clean (non-bonded) certificate of title issues.
