Why do I need this bond?
By posting a Connecticut certificate of title bond, the principal (vehicle owner) gives his/her written pledge that the purchased vehicle was not obtained under fraudulent circumstances. The bond protects any prior owners and lien holders, as well as any subsequent purchasers of the vehicle if the principal fails to comply with the terms of the surety contract.

What’s the fine print?
Lost title bonds in Connecticut remain effective for a 3-year term. The bond and any deposit accompanying it will be returned at the end of 3 years or prior if the vehicle is no longer registered in Connecticut and the valid certificate of title is surrendered to the commissioner.
The year, make, model and identification number of the vehicle must be listed on the bond form.
