The Illinois Bond for Registration without Certificate of Title is required by the Secretary of State, Vehicle Services Department.
What is the purpose of an Illinois Bond for Registration without Certificate of Title?
When the title of a vehicle is damaged or cannot be produced, they generally request you to obtain a surety bond. The bond does not protect you; it actually protects the Department of Revenue from you, in case someone with the vehicle’s title claims that the vehicle is theirs.
If there is a claim placed on your bond and you are found at fault, the surety company will pay out. However, you will have to pay them back.
How do I apply for a Title with the Secretary of State?
Submit the following documents when you apply for a title without the standard ownership documents:
- You can submit a bill of sale, receipt or canceled a check. If that is not possible, just submit a notarized statement of how you were able to acquire the said vehicle.
- Submit a written appraisal of the vehicle’s current wholesale value for a licensed vehicle dealer. The appraisal must contain a description of the vehicle with the year, make, model and vehicle identification number.
- Pay the application fee.
- Complete a Motor Vehicle Use Tax Return form.
- Submit either a cash bond or a Illinois Bond for Registration with a power of attorney. This bond must be issued by a surety company licensed to operate in the state.
