Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lost title bond in Georgia?
A lost title bond (also called a defective title bond or certificate of title bond) is a surety bond that lets you get a new title from the Georgia Department of Revenue when the original title is lost, missing, or was never properly transferred. The bond protects the state and any prior owners against future ownership claims, and once it's in force, the Georgia DMV issues you a new bonded title.
How much does a Georgia lost title bond cost?
Most Georgia lost title bonds cost between $100 and $200 for standard passenger vehicles. The bond amount is two times the vehicle's fair market value, and the premium is a small percentage of that bond amount. For higher-value vehicles, we shop multiple sureties to get the best rate.
How long does it take to get a Georgia lost title bond?
Most applicants complete the online application in under 10 minutes. Once payment clears, the bond is emailed to you immediately, same screen, same session. You print it and bring it to your local tag office to complete the bonded title process.
What documents do I need to bring to the tag office?
Bring the lost title bond we email you, a T-22B Police Inspection, an MV-46A Notarized Affidavit, proof of ownership such as a bill of sale, a vehicle history report from an approved NMVTIS provider, and your driver's license. Different counties may ask for slightly different paperwork, so we recommend calling your local tag office before going.
How long does a Georgia lost title bond last?
Georgia lost title bonds remain in effect for 5 years. After that period, if no claims have been filed, you can request a clear (unbonded) title from the Georgia DMV. Most vehicle owners never deal with the bond again after the 5-year period closes.
How do I determine my bond amount?
Your bond amount is two times the vehicle's fair market value. Use the Georgia TAVT estimator and select "Estimate Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT)" to find the fair market value. Double that number and that's your bond amount.
