What Can a Bonded Title Be Used For?

When Is a Bonded Title Required?
The exact circumstances in which owners must take out a Bonded Title vary case by case. However, in most cases, if you own or wish to buy a vehicle, trailer, vessel, snowmobile, or all-terrain vehicle that lacks a title or if that title is incomplete, then a Bonded Title is necessary.
What is a Bonded Title?
A bonded title, also known as a Certificate of Title Surety Bond or Lost Title Bond, is a document that establishes who owns a vehicle, trailer, vessel, snowmobile, or all-terrain vehicle.

You must make every reasonable attempt to obtain the previous title issued to the vehicle, trailer, vessel, snowmobile, or all-terrain vehicle. You may apply for a bonded title if you are a Vermont Resident and have exhausted all other options to obtain the title.
