What is this bond?

The Utah Lost Vehicle Title Bond is a surety bond required when a vehicle owner lacks sufficient evidence of ownership to properly register their vehicle. It serves as a financial guarantee protecting the state, lienholders, and rightful owners from damages if it is later proven that the applicant does not legally own the vehicle.

Who needs it?

Utah residents trying to register and title a motor vehicle, trailer, or watercraft without a valid, original title generally need this bond. This typically includes individuals who bought a vehicle with only a bill of sale, received a defective title, or lost the assigned title before transferring it into their name.

Why is it required?

The Utah Division of Motor Vehicles requires this bond to safely issue a bonded title without assuming liability for a potential ownership dispute. The bond ensures there are dedicated funds available to compensate any prior owners or lienholders who suffer a financial loss due to the new title issuance.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Purchasing the bond before the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles has officially instructed you to obtain a bonded title.
  • ⚠Providing an incorrect Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or vehicle description on the application.
  • ⚠Failing to get an official vehicle value assessment from the state, resulting in an incorrect bond amount.
  • ⚠Applying for a bond when there is still a known, active lien on the vehicle that has not been released.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Utah Lost Vehicle Title Bond cost?

Premiums vary based on the required bond amount and your personal application details. To get your exact price, please apply online or call Noah Insurance Agency at 814-718-0060.

How do I know what bond amount to request?

Bond amounts vary based on the appraised value of the vehicle. You must verify the exact required bond amount directly with the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles before applying.

What happens if someone else claims ownership of the vehicle?

If a valid ownership or lienholder claim is filed against your bond, the surety company will investigate and may pay out up to the bond limit. You are legally responsible for reimbursing the surety company for any claims paid.

Can I get a bonded title for an abandoned vehicle?

Requirements vary significantly for abandoned vehicles, and a bonded title may not always be the correct legal pathway. You should verify your specific situation and vehicle requirements with the issuing agency.
