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 insufficient to prove ownership, Utah lets you establish ownership with a bonded title. You post an Insufficient Evidence of Ownership bond with the DMV (a division of the Utah State Tax Commission), 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 set by the vehicle's value — the DMV determines the figure when you apply, often using a recognized valuation guide. Whatever amount the DMV names, enter it — pricing is 0.9% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.
The bond stays on file for a fixed statutory period (commonly several years). If someone with a better claim comes forward and is harmed during that period, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. After the period ends with no valid claim, a clean title issues.
