What is a Georgia certificate of title bond?
Section 40-3-28 of the Georgia Code Annotated requires 4-year surety bonds for vehicles with missing titles as part of the state's certificate of title application process. If a vehicle owner cannot prove ownership due to a missing, stolen, or defective title, they can purchase and file a title bond. If this situation applies to you, a Georgia bonded title allows you to claim legal ownership of your vehicle with the state.
How does a Georgia title bond work?
By filing a Georgia title bond, you verify your vehicle was not stolen or acquired fraudulently. If a previous owner or lien holder comes forward with vehicle ownership evidence, a claim can be made on the bond. The surety bond company would pay a valid claim up to the bond's full amount, and then the bonded individual must reimburse the surety company for claim expenses.
Your motor vehicle certificate bonded title will work for standard vehicle registration, insurance, and sales purposes.
A Georgia bonded title is required to register a vehicle with a missing title. If you plan to sell vehicles in Georgia, you need a separate Georgia auto dealer bond.
Who regulates registration for vehicles with lost titles in Georgia?
