What this bond does

This bond supplies financial security for the title-related obligation described in the required form. The title authority still reviews the application and the available ownership evidence.

Who needs it
A Maryland title applicant directed to provide a bond for the asset identified in the application.
Who it protects
Claimants covered by the requested title-bond form. The bond does not clear liens or protect the applicant from an ownership dispute.

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.

Order the bond described in your title request

Read the request for the recipient's name, required amount and asset description. A sale price or another state's multiplier should not substitute for the amount your title office requires.

Keep a copy of the ownership records used in the application. After the bond is issued, compare its names and identification number with the title packet before submitting it.

Questions about this bond

Can I buy this before I know the required amount?

Obtain the title office's security instructions first. This choice does not display a fixed amount or term.

Will a bond replace every missing title?

No. The office must identify the correct process for your documents and ownership history.

What does Purchase Now open?
