Arizona Lost Title Bond

When you need this bond

You may need to apply for a title through the bonded title process if you do not have enough documentation to satisfy a claim of ownership or if there are undisclosed liens on the vehicle or mobile home being titled. The bond covers any prior owner and lien holder, any subsequent purchaser, and any person acquiring a security interest in the vehicle or mobile home, along with their respective successors.

Bonded title process

The bonded title process includes several steps to verify ownership and protect any interested parties. You must complete all requirements before obtaining your title.

• Vehicle or mobile home inspection
• Applicant affidavit
• Owner and lien holder notification/request for documentation
• Purchase of a surety bond
