ID vehicle ownership bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Idaho lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under Idaho Code § 49-523 and the Transportation Department 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 the bonded title actually does
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or insufficient, Idaho lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under Idaho Code § 49-523. You post a surety bond, the Transportation Department 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 1.5 times the vehicle's current appraised value. You establish value with a vehicle appraisal and VIN inspection from a licensed Idaho dealer on form ITD 3504, then multiply by 1.5 to get the bond amount.
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 Idaho bonded title is valid for three years, after which a clean (non-bonded) certificate of title issues if no valid claim was made.
