What this bond does
The bond supplies financial security for covered claims arising from the title application. It is one part of the ownership-document process; it does not establish ownership or remove an existing lien.
- Who needs it
- An applicant with an Alabama title-bond request for the vehicle identified in that request.
- Who it protects
- People entitled to recover for title-related loss under the required bond form. It does not cover damage to your vehicle.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Do I need a bond just to replace a lost title?
Ask the title office whether your case needs a replacement document or a bonded-title application. Buy this bond when the office has identified the bond route for your file.
Which amount should I enter?
Use the amount requested for your vehicle. This page does not specify a fixed amount or a term.
Where does Purchase Now take me?
The Southern Agency's link opens RLI in a new tab. Complete the bond application there; the issued bond still needs to go into your title submission.
