What is the purpose of a Mississippi certificate of title bond?
Mississippi Code Section 63-21-23 requires a lost title bond be provided for vehicle registration when an individual is missing their official vehicle title. This code (also known as the “Mississippi Motor Vehicle Title Act") specifically requires a Mississippi title bond be filed with the state before an individual applies for their bonded title. The purpose of these bonds is to provide a security interest when vehicle ownership cannot be verified and a replacement title has been requested.
Why is a Mississippi certificate of title bond required?
This title surety bond protects prior owners, prior lien holders, and future purchasers from expenses, losses, or damages resulting from certificate of title issuance. By filing the bond form, the vehicle owner verifies they legally own the vehicle. If the original title is found and a valid claim is made against the bond, the insurance company will pay losses up to the full bond amount. The vehicle owner must then reimburse the insurance company for claims paid.
Please note this bond only allows a duplicate title to be issued for a vehicle. If you plan to sell used vehicles, a separate Mississippi designated agent bond is required.
Who regulates registration for vehicles missing titles?
The Mississippi Department of Revenue enforces registration requirements for all vehicles in the state, including those missing official titles. Questions about getting bonded titles in Mississippi should be directed to the Title Bureau at 1(601)923-7200.
How do I determine my bond amount?
Mississippi law requires the title surety bond amount be 1.5 times the value of the vehicle, manufactured home, or mobile home as determined by the Department of Revenue. If you need help determining your exact required bond amount, contact the Department of Revue before purchasing your lost title bond.
How do Mississippi bonded title applicants file your bond?
The state requires all bonded title documentation be mailed to:
Mississippi Department of Revenue
Motor Vehicle Services
P. O. Box 1383
Jackson, MS 39215-1383
The Department of Revenue only accepts bonds filed within 30 days of their effective date, so file your car title bond as soon as possible after receiving it from your surety provider.
How do I update or change my bond form?
If the Department of Revenue requires any updates to your bond documentation, contact your surety provider. If your bond was purchased from SuretyBonds.com, email [email protected] to explain the needed change.
