About this bond

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, Nevada lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under NRS 482.2605. You file 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 DMV sets the bond amount at one and a half times the vehicle’s value, established from the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. For a salvage vehicle, the bond is 25% of MSRP. If the DMV determines you need a bond, it provides an Affidavit for Bonded Vehicle Title, and your vehicle must pass a VIN inspection at a DMV office, by a sworn officer, or by an authorized inspector.

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 place for three years; if no valid claim is made, the DMV converts your bonded title to a full, permanent title.

NRS 482.2605Under NRS 482.2605, an owner who cannot satisfactorily prove ownership may file a surety bond with the DMV to obtain a bonded certificate of title. The bond amount equals one and a half times the vehicle’s value (from MSRP), or 25% of MSRP for a salvage vehicle. The DMV provides an Affidavit for Bonded Vehicle Title and requires a VIN inspection. The bond stays in place three years, after which a clean title issues if no valid claim is made.

How do I figure out the bond amount?It’s one and a half times the vehicle’s value, based on the manufacturer’s suggested retail price — or 25% of MSRP for a salvage vehicle. The DMV determines the figure and provides an Affidavit for Bonded Vehicle Title; we issue the bond for that amount.
