Who needs this surety bond?

You have 30 days to apply for a certificate of title from the day the vehicle has been transferred to you.

 

A surety bond is one of the major requirements before the issuance of the certificate of title for your vehicle. The surety bond will serve as a financial guarantee in case any legal action arises after the certificate of title has been issued.

 

If an undisclosed security interest suddenly lays claim to the vehicle, and that the issuing authority suffered damages due to this, the New York Commissioner of Motor Vehicles will be indemnified through the surety bond.

 

The prerequisite complies with Section 2105, Title 10, Article 46 of the Uniform Certificate of Title Traffic Act of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law

 

What is the Certificate of Title Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per vehicle. The bond amount should be equal to 1.5 times the value of the vehicle as determined by the New York Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.

 

For example:

  • $3,000 – vehicle’s value
  • $3,000 X 1.5 = $4,500 is the bond amount

The bond premium will depend on your credit score. If you have an excellent one, you will be eligible to pay a small percentage of the bond amount!
