NE certificate of title bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Nebraska lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond with the DMV (form MV-Surety) and the state issues the title. Premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information; the amount is one and one-half times the vehicle's value.

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, Nebraska lets you establish ownership with a bonded title. You post a surety bond, the DMV 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 one-half times the vehicle's current value, established by the county property tax valuation or the NADA Guide. The bond is filed on the Nebraska Certificate of Title Surety Bond (form MV-Surety) from a surety authorized in Nebraska, and must be submitted with your Application for Bonded Title within 30 days of issuance.
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 runs a three-year term, after which, with no valid claim, a clean title can issue. Premiums start from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
