What is a Massachusetts Bonded Title?

A bonded title is a certificate of title issued by the Massachusetts RMV when the original title is missing, defective, or insufficient to prove ownership. To protect others who may have a legal claim to the vehicle, state law requires a surety bond. Under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 90D, Section 12 (MGL Ch. 90D §12), the applicant must file a bond equal to 1.5 times the appraised value of the vehicle. This ensures that if a rightful owner appears, they are financially protected.

When Do You Need a Bonded Title in Massachusetts?

You may need a Massachusetts bonded title surety bond if:

  • You purchased a vehicle without receiving a valid title
  • Your title was lost, stolen, or destroyed
  • The title you received is defective or incomplete
  • You acquired a vehicle through inheritance or abandonment without clear ownership paperwork

In these cases, the RMV will direct you to file a certificate of title bond before issuing a new title.

How the Process Works (Step-by-Step)

Here’s how to secure your Massachusetts bonded title bond and complete the process:

  • Determine Eligibility
  • Vehicle must qualify under RMV rules (generally, not exempt or salvage vehicles unless special approval).
  • Calculate Bond Amount
  • The bond amount is 1.5× the appraised vehicle value (based on RMV-approved appraisal sources). Example: Vehicle value $10,000 - Required bond = $15,000.
  • Apply for the Bond
