Michigan - Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title — required surety bond in Michigan. Apply online in minutes.
The Michigan Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title Bond is a surety bond that allows an individual to register and insure a vehicle when the original title is lost, stolen, or defective. It guarantees compensation to any prior owners, lienholders, or subsequent purchasers who may suffer a financial loss if it is later discovered that the bonded individual did not have rightful ownership of the vehicle.
Vehicle owners in Michigan who lack sufficient proof of ownership or possess a defective, lost, or improperly assigned title typically need this bond. It allows them to obtain a valid certificate of title from the state to legally drive, sell, or register the vehicle.
The Michigan Secretary of State requires this bond to protect the state, previous vehicle owners, and future buyers against fraudulent ownership claims. By requiring the bond, the state ensures a financial safety net is in place in case someone steps forward later with a valid claim to the vehicle. Specific bond requirements vary, so applicants should always verify their individual needs with the issuing agency.
