What is Utah Motor Vehicle Defective Title Bond?

Need a replacement for your vehicle title? No problem! A surety bond is all you need! 

The Utah State Tax Commission requires a surety bond in the absence of sufficient documents that show complete ownership of a motor vehicle or a replacement for a defective title.

 

The surety bond is required before the issuance of a certificate of title or the transfer of motor vehicle title.

 

This surety bond is called the Utah Motor Vehicle Defective Title or Insufficient Evidence of Ownership Bond.

 

The purpose of the surety bond is to indemnify any person who may stake a claim on the motor vehicle after the certificate of title has been issued, or the motor vehicle’s title has been transferred.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount will be twice the fair market value of the motor vehicle being applied for a certificate of title or transfer of motor vehicle title.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores may be eligible to pay a low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount.
