When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Nebraska lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond with the DMV (form MV-Surety) and the state issues the title. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the amount is one and one-half times the vehicle's value.
















No underwriting queue for the standard title bond — enter your amount, pay, and take the executed bond to the DMV. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the vehicle (make, year, model, VIN, body type), and the bond amount (1.5× the vehicle's value) — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond (form MV-Surety) with your Application for Bonded Title within 30 days of the bond's issuance date. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Bond amount is 1.5× the vehicle's value — enter it and the premium updates.
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Nebraska lets you establish ownership with a bonded title. 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 one and one-half times the vehicle's current value, established by the county property tax valuation or the NADA Guide. The bond is filed on the Nebraska Certificate of Title Surety Bond (form MV-Surety) from a surety authorized in Nebraska, and must be submitted with your Application for Bonded Title within 30 days of issuance.
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 runs a three-year term, after which, with no valid claim, a clean title can issue.
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 DMV.
