What is a Nevada Bonded Title?
Nevada Revised Statute 482.2605 requires that individuals missing official vehicle ownership documentation file a surety bond with the DMV when applying for a bonded title. In Nevada form VP-272 is officially titled the "Vehicle Bond Affidavit," but it's more commonly known as a "certificate of title surety bond," "lost title bond," or "bonded title."
The Nevada certificate of title bond protects any prior owner, prior lien holder, or future purchaser against expenses, losses, or damages resulting from certificate of title issuance. If the original title is found and a valid claim is made against the bond, the surety company will pay damages up to the full bond amount. The bonded vehicle owner must then reimburse any claims paid.
Unsure if You Require a Nevada Bonded Title?
If you're trying to register a vehicle with the Nevada DMV but can't provide valid ownership documentation, you can apply for a bonded title. To qualify for a bonded title, you must be a Nevada resident who owns a vehicle within the state.
If your vehicle has an open lien, you're not eligible to purchase a surety bond to get a bonded title.
Please note a Nevada certificate of title bond is required if you have insufficient vehicle ownership. If you plan to sell vehicles, a separate Nevada vehicle industry license bond is required.
Who Regulates Registration for Vehicles With Missing Titles?
The Nevada DMV office enforces vehicle registration requirements and approves bonded title applications for missing vehicle titles. You must fulfill all DMV bond requirements before your replacement title application will be approved.
How Do I Determine My Bond Amount?
State law requires your bond amount be 1.5 times your vehicle appraisal value. If you need help determining your required surety bond amount, contact the Department of Motor Vehicles before purchasing your bond. The state DMV website specifically advises NOT to purchase a surety bond until the DMV has authorized your bonded title application.
How Do I Update or Change My Bond Form?
