What this bond does

A title bond provides security for the ownership-related obligation described in the requested form. The title application still needs the ownership evidence and other materials the title office asks for.

Who needs it
An Arkansas title applicant directed to furnish security for missing or inadequate title documentation.
Who it protects
People with covered title-related claims under the bond. The bond does not resolve a dispute over who owns the asset.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Keep the transfer history with your application

Gather the bill of sale and any prior title or transfer documents you have. These help you describe how you acquired the vehicle without presenting the bond as a substitute for the history.

Use the recipient name, amount and dates in your title-office instructions when applying. If the request identifies a trailer or another titled asset, retain that description throughout the paperwork.

Questions about this bond

Should I buy before the title office reviews my situation?

First confirm that a bond is the route the office wants for your file. Missing paperwork alone does not establish that.

Is a fixed amount shown here?

No. Enter the amount required for your application rather than guessing from the sale price.

Where is the application?

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Complete the bond application there, then follow your Arkansas title submission instructions.
