You can get a bonded title from a local insurance agent. Call your auto/home insurance provider and ask.

I have been a licensed Rebuilder and Parts Recycler with the Illinois Secretary of State since 1986 and I have never heard of a "Bonded" Title. Could you please explain what a "Bonded Title" is? To get a title for a vehicle I towed and never got paid, I had to get a certificate of purchase from the police department, then get the vehicle inspected at a Secretary of State office, show before and after photos, produce all the receipts for all parts purchased, then I would get a "Rebuilt" title, but never a "Bonded" title. It would be great to bypass all the red tape in getting a title.

I believe it takes two or three years for you to get the title you have to put up a bond and if no one claims it you get the title

I got a bonded title through my insurance company in a few weeks when I asked.
The bonded title allows you to own the car, but also covers you if someone comes forward with proof of ownership.
No one came forward on the car I did this on, and I was able to sell it a couple years later, but may have been able to sell it much sooner, not sure.
