It is important to have a title for your car, as this is required in order to sell or junk your car. If you recently bought a car and you do not have a title or the title has been damaged or lost, you might need to get a Bonded Title. This is essentially a title based on the value of the vehicle when the original proof of ownership has been lost or damaged an cannot be reproduced.
