Buying a car is exciting until you realize you do not have a good title. Maybe it was lost, never signed over, or full of errors. In Georgia, there is a clear fix: a lost title bond. Here is how it works.

What a lost title bond does

A lost title bond, also called a certificate of title bond, is a promise that you really own the vehicle. It protects any past owner or lender. With the bond in hand, Georgia will issue you a bonded title, which you can drive, insure, and sell.

How the process works

First, find the value of your vehicle. The bond amount is usually 1.5 to 2 times that value. Next, buy the bond, often a low flat fee for common cars. Then take the bond and your forms to your local county tag office. They issue your bonded title.

How fast is it

For most everyday cars, very fast. We can email your bond within minutes once we have the vehicle value and your details. Many drivers finish the whole thing in a single day and drive away legal.

What happens after

The bonded title works like a normal title. The only difference is the word bonded printed on it for three years. If no one proves a claim in that time, the bonded note drops off and you have a clean title. Most people never see a claim.
