When you can't prove ownership of a vehicle, Wyoming lets you get a bonded title — file a surety bond under W.S. 31-2-105 and the county clerk issues the title. Pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information; the amount is at least twice the vehicle's value.
















No underwriting queue for the standard title bond — enter your amount, pay, and take the executed bond to your county clerk. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the vehicle, and the bond amount (twice the vehicle's value) — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, so most bonds are generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Take the executed bond, your affidavit of vehicle ownership, and a VIN inspection to your county clerk to get your bonded title. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
When you buy or inherit a vehicle and the paperwork is missing, lost, or defective, Wyoming lets you establish ownership with a bonded title under W.S. 31-2-105. You file an affidavit of vehicle ownership and post a surety bond, your county clerk 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 not less than twice the vehicle's value, determined at the time of application. You establish value from a current national appraisal guide, a current or past registration showing the value, or a certified written statement from a properly licensed Wyoming vehicle dealer.
There's a notable exception: if the vehicle is worth less than $2,500, Wyoming may issue a title without a bond — on an affidavit of ownership, a notarized bill of sale, a dealer's value statement, and a VIN inspection. If that fits your vehicle, you may not need this bond at all; ask your county clerk first. Otherwise, enter your amount — pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with your bond amount (twice the vehicle's value) — the executed title bond is generated instantly, ready to take to your county clerk.
