The bond you most likely require is called a "lost title bond". I am a State Farm Agent in Michigan and my office writes them on a regular basis. There is an application which your bond agent will fill out, there is the actual bond which is state specific that the DMV will provide to you, then your agent will print a power of attorney, which is required to show the agent is registered to legally issue the bond. They are issued "in office" and for my state, through my provider, most are 100.00. as the value of the car increases, the bond cost will also. A gold seal is placed on the actual bond. In the case of Michigan, the form is called TR121. This is the bond process that takes 15 minutes to complete. Obviously, there are many other requirements that your state's DMV may have you follow. I hope this information helps:)
