About This Bond

What this bond covers.

A Vehicle Ownership Bond is required by the State of Montana when an individual needs to obtain a certificate of title for a vehicle but cannot provide adequate proof of ownership or proper documentation. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the applicant is the rightful owner of the vehicle.

This bond is typically required for individuals who have purchased vehicles without receiving proper titles, inherited vehicles without clear documentation, or lost their original title documents. The bond amount varies based on the vehicle's value as determined by the Montana Motor Vehicle Division.

The bond protects the State of Montana and any prior owners or lienholders who may have valid claims against the vehicle. If someone suffers financial loss due to the bondholder's invalid claim of ownership, they can make a claim against the bond for compensation.

The Vehicle Ownership Bond has a 3-year term and must remain active during this period. Bond amounts up to $50,000 are eligible for instant approval, while higher amounts require additional underwriting documentation including credit reports and financial statements.
