Requirements Thank you for considering a Georgia Certificate of Title Bond. Please review the information on this page carefully before purchasing your bond. There are TWO primary pieces of information you will need before applying for a title bond: STEP 1: Obtain a national vehicle history report. This is required report. The national history report can be purchased from any company that provides NMVTIS. You may purchase a NMVTIS report from our preferred partner for $9.99. Review your report and make sure the vehicle is not salvage or has liens against it. Also review the report to see what state the vehicle was last titled in. (More information is given below if vehicle is salvage or has liens against it or was last titled in another state). STEP 2: You will be asked on the application to provide the vehicle value, you must use the value of the vehicle as determined by the State of Georgia. This is likely different than the amount you paid for the vehicle. Enter the Vehicle Identification Number into the TAVT Tax Estimator to determine vehicle value.
- NOTE 1: The Application will ask who the “indemnitors” are. This is another word for “owners”. The indemnitor (owner) will be the person or company whose name will be on the title
- NOTE 2: Please enter the name of the principal as it appears on the principal’s driver’s license.
- NOTE 3: Please enter the information on the application how you would like it to appear on the bond. The bond is printed directly from the information given on the application.
- NOTE 4: The seller’s information on the application must be who the vehicle was purchased from, the previous owner. It cannot be the same information as the indemnitor’s information.

- If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Georgia, you will need a certified vehicle history report from that state. Go to that state’s DMV website to request a Full Certified Vehicle History Report. We do not provide state certified reports.
