How to Get a Bonded Title for a Vehicle With No Title or Lost Title 

You just saved me from having to buy another car. I purchased a 2001 Camaro about a month ago but the owner wrote my name and license number wrong. When I went to the DMV to register it, they told me the title was invalid. I wasn’t able to get back in contact with the previous owner to fix it so my car was sitting and I was going to continue walking to work. This was my first time buying a car and I was incredibly ignorant in the process. Thanks to you I was able to get myself the title in my name and I no longer have to walk to work in this 120 degree Phoenix heat.

Dude thank you! I had no clue where to begin to get the title bond. This video was so helpful.

Just bought a 2017 mustang with alot of extra aftermarket bells and whistles for 21,000 with odo at 60k miles apparently somebody dropped the ball somewhere at filling out the title information and he said he would contact pendot and they will issue a new title but since then has gone ghost. So it’s a good thing you made this video thank you so much

Thank you So so so much for making this video! I had no idea how to find my jack and I also have an 07 tahoe, so thank you again!

Hey I wanna say thank you for the info. Everything worked out for me also. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I had scirocco. Loved it!!!

I'm so grateful for the DVLA in the UK, I'm about to send off for a new V5 (Title) for a motorcycle, fill in 1 A4 form, pay £28 ($35) wait 3 weeks for new one to arrive.

What was the website you used to download the papers that were printed plus I didn’t know this was a thing until I found your video

Excellent video! BTW congrats on owning a VW scirocco I haven't seen one of those in many decades. I just subscribed.

Hey I was really looking for some help here man. I’m looking at a sweet deal on a car. Great deal and everything but it doesn’t have a title and was deemed salvaged and I believe it was just abandoned by the owners, now to date it was sold at an auction to another fellow who is willing to sell it to me. (No title) and checked the vin it was previously salvaged. Now all damages done to it has been repaired and everything and was wondering what should I do?

I have the title and bell of sale and the lien release from bank, the thing is: the previous owner deleted name on the purchase section on the back of the tile, and he said he gonna get me new title but he never did, and he doesn’t answer the phone, anything that i can do??

I bought a car here in North Carolina without a title but the car is from Tennessee am I still able to get a bonded title here in nc?

What if you paying a note on a car can you get a surety bond on it?

Going through this process currently and live in the same area. I couldn’t get anyone to answer at the License and Theft Bureau. You can request an inspection online they came out a couple of days after my request.

Thanks for the video.

I live in NC and dude you and this informative yet simple step by step video SAVED me lol just did it exactly as you said and where to obtain the docs as well as the bond phone call/and email and sure enough it's all finalized (,: thank you

Love this. Does the car have to be in working order to be bonded? I pulled a truck out of a swamp and was given a bill of sale by the property owner. It’s pretty much gone and I’m welding it.

Is it the same process if the previous owner jumped the title?

The previous own gave me the lost title I signed the bond and the back of title what should I do next ?

I bought a car with a rebuilt title from a dude who lived in GA, I live in TN. He bought the car 2 months earlier but couldn’t register it to himself because it wouldn’t pass GA’s rebuilt inspection or something like that so he was never able to put it in his name. So, i believe it’s technically still in the previous owners name. And now the title has two signatures on the back.. the guy I bought it from and me. What do I do?

Arizona allows Bonded titles. I recently bought a fixer up 2 door 1961 Ford falcon wagon. Making a rat rod out of it. The DMV inspected it. Easy as hell but the bond cost me almost $400 due to the Barrett Jackson auction values Arizona uses to put real value on old cars being sky high due to wealthy bidders running up the prices. I had no choice so I went with it. Arizona also gave me plates for it even though it is not road worthy. i think they felt bac making me pay so much for the bond. My other bond 5 years ago. A 1926 Model T I built in to a rat rod. The bond was $150.

I have found a great deal on a truck. Love the truck an it is flawless. Looks good an runs great. Now..you guessed it. No damn title! I live in NC also. What are my steps i need to do before an maybe after? Was it worth all the folder worth of paper work? Great job on the video btw!

Thanks for the info.

What regulation forms is there. How many regulation forms is there to get title? What state is this for?

Awesome video....

I wont to know can anybody tell me is there a loophole for getting a bonded title in south Carolina? I lost a title that was purchased in Ohio and cannot reach the seller or the title owner.

I admire you for thinking this is painless. I figure if you count your time, bond cost and fees, this cost you the same as the vehicle. This kind of thing boils my blood to be honest. But that gets me nowhere. Nice video.

Can you get a temporary tag from the DMV for a vehicle before you go purchase a vehicle and the seller doesn’t have a title? He brought the vehicle from original seller and insured it. I’m interested in purchasing the vehicle but I don’t have a tag to go onto the vehicle to be able to legally drive it on the roads in my state.

Is there a specific website? Or just Google?

What is the exact link to that form ?

How would I get a title for a 15’?

Awesome thanks

I have a title but it is full and previous owner bought it and never had prev owner get a duplicate and he was never added to it.

What’s the 1 1/2 times the amount? Example on how much you had to pay. If the value of the car is 6400, how much will I have to pay to get a title bond. Thanks

i acquired a vehicle with a bond for the title from the previous owner who could not get the title. It was abandoned at a tow/impound yard in another state, went to a second and third state by the same person. Now it's here in NYS with his bond and is no longer reachable. Now I'm stuck as to what to do next.

I bought a moped/scooter from this private seller without the pink slip or title now I don't know how I'm going to register it

I learnt a lot from this video. Thank you. My dilemma is that I'm in Australia and I bought three vintage Kawasaki (1981 model) KX motocross bikes, without titles last year, from Illinois, West Virginia and Georgia respectively. I have since learnt that US Customs are now really cracking down on the export of non-titled bikes. (I doubt these 40 year old off-road competition bikes ever HAD titles in the first place!) Trying to find out information from Australia is VERY difficult. For example I can't even access the Illinois DMV online. Is this Bonded Title process something that I can do from here?

I’m in CT, bought a car 08 Hyundai with no title, unfortunately the last title holder is deceased ( confirmed by dmv, and l don’t have his name, l do have a bill of sale from person who sold me car, will l still be able to use a bonded title to either sell or register car.? Thanks

Thank you! How long did this take you?

good video!

Hey man i bought a nissan altima 2012 back ago in texas but i moved to colorado and the dealer never send me the tittle,where should I apply for the bonded tittle,in texas or colorado?

Thinking about buying a 68 Camaro from NJ. Seller unfortunately doesn’t have title but it does have a Vin tag. I’m in Virginia. Think I would have an issue, it’s a race car but would like to turn it into a street car

I need help. I bought a car I live in georgia and the car registered in SC the guy I bought it from uncle died before registering the car and they lost the title. What I have to do? This my first time doing a title bond.

Thanks for the info you're a life saver

I purchased my 2004 Cadillac escalade on 7/2021. I was given a title that was revised a month prior 6/21, which the owner failed to tell me. I found that out when I went to DMV. They said I needed the revised title, but till this day 9/19/2023, I haven't been able to get in touch with the prior owner. What can I do to get the revised title under my name?

Does this work for a built kit car? I lost the title before I could get it in my name.

Ok what if the car hasn’t been registered since 1987 and it’s a lost title. I’m in CA and I’m wondering what happens after we get the replacement title form filled out and they still say they can’t find any records of the car since it’s been so long. Should I just skip that and do a bonded title or try for the replacement 1st

So I bought a truck from someone in Utah and I got insurance on the truck so I could get it title and registration on it. But lost title to truck before I got back to the state I live in to put the truck in my name what do I do to get title. I can't get ahold of pervious owner

I’m from Chicago, I just got a pick up truck by my boss the owner of a mechanic shop, he sold it to me cause the owner did some work on the truck but he never came back to pick it up it’s now been 4 years and he owns a ton of money for storage, you think it be easy to get the title?

Say I bought a motorcycle from a younger fellow whose father was involved in the purchase and I suspect absolutely no shady dealings. They gave me a title from like 2 owners ago because it had practically been used as bartering currency and no one along the way intended on getting it titled and tagged. It is legally a 150cc motorcycle but looks identical to a 49cc scooter, so he just drove it like it was a scooter and never had an issue but I would like to tag it for what it is. Where should I begin? Am I better off disregarding the title I have in hand to an owner I have no way of contacting and start from scratch or does me holding this title help in any manner?

I got a 18 inch lifted blazer, would they still approve even that it’s above bumper level?

I’m currently in the process of getting a bonded title for a 2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T from a auto electric shop

Would this work in regards to title jumping? I live in mass and the person I purchased the vehicle off of never titled it in their name, and am not able to get in touch with them. I have proof of purchase and everything proving I bought the vehicle, even looked up the vin to see if it was stolen, it was not

Here’s hoping you’re still responding to comments. So I just got a car from my grandfather whose very much the person that only wants me to do the work and he lost the title to the car he’s currently giving to me. How can I get the title transferred?

I’m n South Carolina is it the same steps that need to happen and can a bonded title be optained

What if I buy a car in craig list or. Market place. With out the title ?? What I need to do ?

Maybe you know the answer , I went to my local dmv in california to transfer a car title to my name , the dmv clerk said she need some kind of proof that the car wasnt title out of state is this commonly asked if the car was bought out of state even though the title says California title. My problem also is I didn’t not clarify where do I get this proof or letter that says the car wasn’t titled out of state. Maybe you know the answer so I don’t have to go back to the dmv to clarify

Am I able to do this in Washington DC I looked at the link it says North Carolina

Does it matter if the car was bought in another state other than NC...If NC resident would you still be able to get bonded thru NC..car was bought in MD

It was my understanding that the title is listed as a bonded title, but after two or three years, you are eligible to apply for a clean title.

I'm looking at buying a truck with no title. Thank you

Somebody told me here in Texas it took two years to get a title! I have an 250 cc scooted i bought without a title here in tx I'm hopping thats bot the case!😢😢😢

With bonded title, are you paying for that fee, and then whatever car tax fee?

Hi, I have got a problem. I got a car from this guy on fb marketplace, I didn't like the car I went to check at his car yard so I settled for another one because I wanted to leave that place with a car. He showed me a picture of the title, said he didn't have it with him and gave me some temporary tags. I didn't really like the car and told him to look for another buyer. 2months later, I decided to keep the car, asked him for title and he has been giving me stories for the past 3months. What do I do? I have his phone number, first name and I know where his car yard is. He hasn't been at work for 2months, claiming his sick. I was told I cant file charges against him if I dont have his last name. I paid him full in cash.

I bought a homemade built trailer here in TX from my neighbors Wife after her husband passed away for $200. I went to the tax office with zero paperwork & asked how to register my Homemade Trailer? She handed me 1 piece of paper & started asking weight questions. I kept it at 2000gvw & 1500 Tow Weight. I engraved my b-day & last 4 SS#'s as my VIN all under my trailer but she didn't ask or need that information. Took me less than 7min to register & bought 2yr tags for it 🤟

Trying to figure out how to do this in MO

Does this work if the previous owner of the car still owes money on it?????

Can you do this in SC

Can't get bonded titles in Pa 😢

Umm, can a cash app receipt work? Guy blocked me on fb after buying a motorcycle I highly believe he bought new(it's some amzn dual sport bike) Blocked before I could get a bill of sale.

Anyone use thIs method in NY STATE?

After the bonded title expires does the car stay in your name?

🙋‍♀️ Will This Work In Chicago Il? I bought A Honda Accord Coupe. Gave The Guy 5k for it when the car is worth 10k so I’m not gonna be able to afford to give the extra money so can I do this? Will this work for me? 😬

What if you don't have insurance ?

Hey man, I hope you’re still active here cuz I really need some help. I was wondering if I can get a bonded title for a 1986 Toyota Mr2 in the state of Florida. It’s my dream car and I don’t wanna let it go but if I can’t get that title then I might have to

How long does it usually take to get approved and sent back to you

Hey man I just bought a 1986 Monte Carlo SS and the man didn’t have the title. Found out it has a lien on it and so now I need to get a bonded title please help can you call me or email me. I’m in Washington NC

What if I realize that there was a lien on the car after going to the dmv and realizing that I was scammed because they sold the car to me with a fake title?

I bought a vehicle and I have the title for it but the guy that I bought it from never got the title transferred into his name so it’s like he just bought the vehicle

If there is a claim on a bonded title and the person wins who pays the bond. Also do you retain possession of the vehicle
