Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28 Section 2057 requires individuals with insufficient vehicle ownership evidence to file a surety bond. These bonds protect previous owners and lien holders as well as potential purchasers in the future. By filing this bond, the current vehicle owner verifies that, to their knowledge, they are the vehicle’s sole owner.
If the original title is provided by somebody other than the bonded title vehicle owner, a claim can be filed against the bond. The surety company will pay valid claims up to the full bond amount, and then the bonded principal must reimburse the surety company.
