CO certificate of title bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
When you can’t prove ownership of a vehicle, Colorado lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under C.R.S. 42-6-115 (form DR 2922) and the DMV issues the title. The premium is 0.9% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the amount is twice the vehicle’s value, and your exact price appears at the application.

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, Colorado lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under C.R.S. 42-6-115. You post a surety bond, the DMV 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 two times the vehicle’s current appraised value. You establish value with a Kelley Blue Book or NADA printout, or a written appraisal from a Colorado-licensed motor vehicle dealer — and the DMV also wants a Statement of Fact (DR 2444) and a certified VIN inspection (DR 2704).
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 is filed on form DR 2922 and typically runs a three-year term, after which a clean title issues.
