Certificate of Title Surety Bond - Alabama
The Certificate of Title Surety Bond is required by the Alabama Department of Revenue when an individual cannot provide standard documentation to obtain a vehicle title. This bond serves as financial protection when the normal title application process cannot be completed due to missing or insufficient paperwork.
Who Needs This Bond: Vehicle owners in Alabama who lack proper documentation such as a clear title, bill of sale, or lien release when applying for a certificate of title through the Department of Revenue.
Protection Provided: This bond protects the State of Alabama and any parties who may have a legitimate claim to the vehicle. If someone later proves they have a valid ownership interest in the vehicle, the bond provides financial recourse up to the bond amount.
Bond Details: The bond amount varies based on the vehicle's value, with a standard 3-year term. To obtain the required bond form, applicants must first apply through the Alabama Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Title Registration and Insurance Portal. Once approved, the Department emails the bond form directly to the applicant for execution.
