What this bond does
The title bond provides security for covered claims arising from the ownership-related obligation. It is separate from the title authority's decision to accept the application and issue a title.
- Who needs it
- A Tennessee title applicant directed to obtain a certificate of title or motor vehicle title bond matching the file.
- Who it protects
- The claimants covered by the required bond form. It does not establish ownership or remove liens.
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, Propeller (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
Do I need both the RLI and Propeller choices?
These are alternative purchase routes on one page. Choose a route matching the requested bond, not two bonds merely because two links appear.
Can I assume a standard term?
No term is listed here. Use the period required for your application and review the issued dates.
