CO certificate of title bonds.
Flat 3%. 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. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the amount is twice the vehicle’s 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, 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.
