Parties entitled to recover for covered title-related losses. It does not insure the vehicle's condition or decide ownership.

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.

Check the vehicle description before applying

Use the identification number, year and make from the title office's request. If the request concerns a vehicle other than a passenger car, describe it as requested rather than substituting a car description.

Have the office identify the required amount, form and period. This RLI choice does not display fixed terms or establish a Maine valuation formula.
