NC certificate of title bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.

When you can’t prove ownership of a vehicle, North Carolina lets you get a bonded title — file an indemnity bond under G.S. 20-76 (form MVR-92D) and the DMV issues the title. We write it at a flat 3% with no credit check; the amount is one and a half times the vehicle’s value.

About this bond

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, North Carolina lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under G.S. 20-76. You post an indemnity 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 a half times the vehicle’s value, with value determined by the DMV’s Current Value Schedule. If the vehicle isn’t listed in the schedule — or it’s a mobile home — the DMV requires two appraisals from North Carolina dealers. The bond is filed on form MVR-92D.

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. North Carolina requires the bond filed within 30 days, and the bonded title typically runs a three-year term, after which a clean title issues.

G.S. 20-76 (form MVR-92D)North Carolina G.S. 20-76 lets an owner with insufficient proof of ownership obtain a certificate of title by filing an indemnity bond (form MVR-92D) in an amount equal to one and a half times the vehicle's value, as determined by the DMV's Current Value Schedule. For vehicles not on the schedule or for mobile homes, two North Carolina dealer appraisals are required. The bond must be filed within 30 days.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the North Carolina title bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount is set at one and a half times the vehicle’s value, so a $3,000 or $7,500 bond lands at the $275 minimum, and the premium scales up from there. Enter your amount and the quote updates.
How do I figure out the bond amount? +
It’s 1.5 times the vehicle’s value as set by the DMV’s Current Value Schedule (available from any NC DMV or the Customer Contact Center). If your vehicle isn’t on the schedule, or it’s a mobile home, you’ll need two appraisals from North Carolina dealers.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the title bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
How long do I have to file it? +
North Carolina requires the indemnity bond filed with the DMV within 30 days. We issue the executed bond on the spot, so you can file well inside that window.
How long does the bond last? +
A North Carolina title bond typically runs a three-year term. If no valid claim is made, a clean (non-bonded) certificate of title issues at the end of the period.
