No title — What You Need to Know
The seller does not have the original title, either because it is lost, the vehicle is old and was never titled, or title records are incomplete. A workaround process is required to transfer legal ownership.
Seller guidance
If the title is simply lost, apply for a duplicate title at your state DMV before the sale — this is the cleanest path. If no title ever existed, the buyer will likely need a bonded title: a surety bond valued at 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value that protects against future ownership disputes. The bond period is typically 3 years after which a clean title is issued.
Buyer guidance
Purchasing without a title carries significant risk. You may be unable to register the vehicle, and you could lose ownership if a prior lienholder or owner surfaces. Insist the seller obtain a duplicate title or provide a surety bond as part of the transaction. Verify the VIN against the NMVTIS database to check for theft or brand history.
Legal note (Florida-specific)
Florida issues bonded titles through the FLHSMV. Submit HSMV 82101 (Application for Bonded Title) with a surety bond for 1.5x the vehicle value. The bond period is 3 years. Alternatively, a court order (FL Statute § 319.241) can establish ownership without a bond for vehicles with clear ownership history.
