About This Bond

What this bond covers.

A Vehicle Title Surety Bond is required by the State of Alaska when an individual needs to obtain a certificate of title for a vehicle but cannot provide the standard required documentation, such as the previous title or proper bill of sale.

This bond is typically needed by vehicle owners who have purchased a car, truck, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle through a private sale, estate sale, or other circumstances where the proper title documentation is missing, lost, or incomplete. The Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles requires this bond as part of the alternative title application process.

The bond protects the State of Alaska and any prior owners or lienholders who may have a legitimate claim to the vehicle. If someone comes forward with a valid ownership claim after the new title is issued, they can make a claim against the bond for financial compensation up to the bond amount.

The bond amount varies based on the vehicle's value as determined by the state, with agents authorized to issue bonds up to $50,000. The bond remains in effect for 3 years from the date of issuance and does not require annual renewal during this period.
