Why this bond
Tennessee certificate of title bonds are put in place to protect the state and general public from financial loss that occurs as a result of the issuance of a new certificate of title for the vehicle in question. By posting this bond, the principal (vehicle owner) takes full responsibility for these damages if they do occur.
The surety will initially cover any damages up to the full bond amount, and the principal must reimburse the surety for any damages paid out.
Certificate of title bond details
If you own a vehicle in Tennessee that is unregistered and needs a certificate of title, the Department of Revenue mandates that you secure a surety bond. The bond remains valid for 3 years from the effective date. If the vehicle is no longer registered with the state before the 3 years are up, then the owner can return the certificate of title to the state if there are no pending claims.
