When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Mississippi lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under Miss. Code §63-21-23 with the Department of Revenue Title Bureau and the state issues the title. Pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information; the amount is 1.5× the vehicle's value.
















No underwriting queue for the standard title bond — enter your amount, pay, and take the executed bond to the Title Bureau. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the vehicle, and the bond amount (1.5× the vehicle's value) — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most bonds issue as soon as you pay — no waiting. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Take the executed bond and your valuation paperwork to the Department of Revenue Title Bureau to get your bonded title. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Mississippi lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under Miss. Code §63-21-23, part of the Motor Vehicle Title Act. You post a surety bond, the Department of Revenue Title Bureau 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 Department of Revenue. So a vehicle valued at $5,000 takes a $7,500 bond — pricing for a bond that size starts from our $100 minimum premium.
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 active for three years from issuance, after which a clean (non-bonded) title issues if no valid claim has been made.
Submit the application with your bond amount (1.5× the vehicle's value) — the executed title bond is generated instantly, ready to take to the Title Bureau.
