What this bond does
A certificate of title bond supplies the security requested for covered ownership-related losses. It accompanies the title process rather than replacing the authority's document review.
- Who needs it
- An Illinois title applicant directed to furnish surety security for the identified asset.
- Who it protects
- People with claims covered by the title-bond form. It does not protect you against a seller's defective ownership claim or guarantee a title.
Choose from 2 options
Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

- Option 2Purchase Now (opens in a new tab)Continue to our secure checkout partner, RLI (opens in a new tab).
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
Can I use a bond just because my title copy is lost?
First ask whether the title office wants a replacement title or a bonded-title process. The missing copy alone does not decide that.
Should the amount match what I paid for the vehicle?
Use the amount required for your title file. The page does not establish a purchase-price formula.
Which link should I use?
Choose the provider application that matches your requested form. Purchase Now opens Propeller or RLI in a new tab; it does not issue the title.
