If you own a vehicle that has a lost or stolen title, you’ll need to purchase a Maine motor vehicle title bond as a part of the registration process. The bond amount can be used to pay reparation to individuals who claim ownership by procuring the original title. As such, this type of surety bond is an instrument used to limit the theft of vehicles due to missing ownership documents.

Car enthusiasts frequently file these bonds with the state when purchasing older vehicles that are no longer accompanied by their original certificates of title for one reason or another.

Before purchasing a vehicle title bond, applicants should verify the year, make, VIN and value of the car. Verify the required bond amount with your state’s DMV before applying for this type of bond because your surety specialist will not tell you how much bond insurance coverage you’ll need.

In Maine, motor vehicle title bonds are issued for three-year terms. The bond form is available here.
