Illinois Certificate of Title Bonds

A Surety Bond for Certificate of Title (also known as a Title Bond, or Bonded Title) is typically required in Illinois in order to legally transfer ownership and register a vehicle when the original title has been lost, stolen or is missing. Illinois title bond amounts must be 1.5 times the vehicle’s appraised value. The Secretary of State will provide the exact bond amount required. You will need this amount in order to request your bond.
