What this bond does

The bond supplies security for the covered ownership-related obligation. The title office decides how the missing documents should be addressed and whether the application meets its requirements.

Who needs it
A Wisconsin title applicant directed to obtain certificate of title security for the identified asset.
Who it protects
The parties entitled to claim under the required bond form. It does not prove ownership or release liens.

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 requested form with your ownership records

Gather the title office's bond direction and available purchase or transfer evidence. This RLI certificate-of-title route is separate from the Propeller Motor Vehicle Lost Title offering.

Use the amount and period specified for your file. No fixed amount or term is displayed here, and a missing title alone does not establish that a bond is the right process.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the Wisconsin bond request and available title records ready.
  2. Check the applicant name, asset identifier and required amount.
  3. After issuance, review the bond and submit it with the remaining title materials as directed.

Questions about this bond

Can I use this instead of requesting a replacement title?

First have the title office identify the process for your missing document. A lost copy does not automatically require a bond.

Is this the Propeller motor-vehicle application?

No. This page's purchase link opens RLI's Certificate of Title Bond route.

What does Purchase Now do?

It opens RLI in a new tab for the bond application. Buying the bond does not submit or approve your Wisconsin title application.
