AZ certificate of title bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Arizona lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under A.R.S. 28-2058 and the Motor Vehicle Division issues the title. Premiums start from $100, and the amount is one and a half times the vehicle's value; your exact price appears at the application.

Most applications approve instantly and the executed bond generates as soon as you pay. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score; larger amounts may get a quick review.
File with the MVD
Take the executed bond, your vehicle inspection, and the bonded title application to the MVD to get your bonded title. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bonded title actually does
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Arizona lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under A.R.S. 28-2058. You post a surety bond, the Motor Vehicle Division issues a certificate of title in your name, and the bond protects anyone who later proves a superior claim to the vehicle.
The bond amount is one and a half times the vehicle's value as determined by the MVD. The MVD also requires a Level III vehicle inspection and a bonded-title application affidavit certifying that you own the vehicle and explaining why you need a bonded title.
If someone with a better claim comes forward and is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond stays in effect until three years after the vehicle is no longer registered in Arizona, after which a clean title can issue.
