What is a New Mexico bonded title?
New Mexico Statutes Section 66-3-24 requires individuals who own vehicles with missing titles file a surety bond to verify ownership as part of the vehicle registration process. The vehicle title bond protects the state, lien holders, and future purchases against damages resulting from certificate of title issuance. If a valid claim is made against the bond, the surety company will pay up to the full bond amount, which the bonded vehicle owner must then reimburse.
