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, Wyoming lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under W.S. 31-2-105. You file an affidavit of vehicle ownership and post a surety bond, your county clerk 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 not less than twice the vehicle's value, determined at the time of application. You establish value from a current national appraisal guide, a current or past registration showing the value, or a certified written statement from a properly licensed Wyoming vehicle dealer.

There's a notable exception: if the vehicle is worth less than $2,500, Wyoming may issue a title without a bond — on an affidavit of ownership, a notarized bill of sale, a dealer's value statement, and a VIN inspection. If that fits your vehicle, you may not need this bond at all; ask your county clerk first. Otherwise, enter your amount — pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.

W.S. 31-2-105 (bond for certificate of title)W.S. 31-2-105 lets an owner with insufficient proof of ownership obtain a Wyoming certificate of title by filing an affidavit of vehicle ownership and a surety bond in an amount not less than twice the vehicle's value, determined at the time of application from a current national appraisal guide, a current or past registration, or a certified written statement from a properly licensed Wyoming dealer. If the vehicle's value is less than $2,500, a title may be issued without a bond on an affidavit, a notarized bill of sale, a dealer's value statement, and a VIN inspection. The bond must be executed by a surety authorized to do business in Wyoming.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wyoming title bond?The premium is 0.9% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond amount is set at no less than twice the vehicle's value, so a $2,500 or $5,000 bond costs the $100 minimum since 0.9% of those amounts falls under it, and pricing scales at 0.9% of the bond amount above roughly $11,112. Enter your amount and your exact price appears at the application.
How do I figure out the bond amount?It's at least two times the vehicle's value at the time of application. Establish value from a current national appraisal guide (such as NADA), a current or past registration that shows the value, or a certified written statement from a properly licensed Wyoming dealer, then double it.
Do I even need a bond for a cheap vehicle?Maybe not. Under W.S. 31-2-105, if the vehicle is worth less than $2,500, your county clerk may issue a title without a bond — on an affidavit of ownership, a notarized bill of sale, a dealer's value statement, and a VIN inspection. Ask your county clerk before you buy a bond you may not need.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. Most applications approve instantly; if a check runs on a larger bond amount, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.
What does the bond protect against?It protects anyone who later proves a superior ownership claim to the vehicle. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you, it is a guarantee that backs your bonded title.
