What Is a Nebraska Certificate of Title Bond?
A Nebraska certificate of title bond, also known as a lost title bond, is required by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) if you are missing an official title. Per Nebraska Revised Statute 60-167, you may need a bonded title in the following circumstances:
- No title has previously been issued for the vehicle/motorboat.
- You cannot provide a properly assigned Certificate of Title or Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO).
- The vehicle/motorboat has a bonded title in another state.
A bonded title allows you to legally register your vehicle with the state of Nebraska. Bonded titles are not available for ATVs, UTVs or minibikes unless there are former DMV records of a Nebraska title.
How Much Do Nebraska Certificate of Title Bonds Cost?
Your surety bond amount must be 1.5 times the current vehicle value as outlined on its property tax or NADA valuation. Contact the DMV to verify your bond amount before purchasing.

How Does a Bonded Title Work?
The Nebraska bonded title protects any prior owner, prior lienholder, or any future purchaser of the vehicle from expenses, losses, or damages resulting from certificate of title issuance.
If the original title is found and a valid claim is made against the bond, the surety company will pay damages up to the full bond amount, which the bonded vehicle owner must then reimburse.
