What is a Wyoming Certificate of Title Bond?

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

 

A surety bond is prescribed by the Wyoming Department of Transportation for persons who are applying for a duplicate of any misplaced or lost certificate of title.

 

The requirement is in pursuance of § 31-2-105 of the Wyoming Statute Annotated.

 

The purpose of the surety bond is to indemnify any person who will suffer damages due to the issuance of a certificate of title.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount varies. The bond amount should be twice the retail value of the vehicle being applied a certificate of title for.

 

The value of the vehicle can be determined in the following ways:

  • From any current national appraisal guide
  • From current or past vehicle registration
  • A written certified statement from a properly licensed Wyoming vehicle dealer

Those who have excellent credit scores may qualify for a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount!
