Washington title and paperwork rules
Bremerton sellers follow Washington state law, and the agency of record is Washington State Department of Licensing. The clean route is a title in your name: sign it at pickup, never hand over a title with the buyer's section left blank, and photograph it before it changes hands.
Replacing a lost title: Vehicle Certificate of Ownership Application / Junk Vehicle Affidavit. Washington uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Washington State Department of Licensing issues a title you can sign over.
Plates: Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
Reporting the sale: File the Report of Sale with the Washington DOL within 5 days — required to end your liability. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Bremerton sellers can do
Washington has a dedicated affidavit path that lets licensed wreckers take an older, low-value junk vehicle without a title, and the Report of Sale is the document that ends your liability — file it within the state's window. Duplicates and bonded titles both run through the Department of Licensing.
Licensed WA salvage buyers and dismantlers can generally purchase a vehicle for recycling with less than a full title, provided you present ID and the right documentation — typically starting with the Vehicle Certificate of Ownership Application / Junk Vehicle Affidavit.
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with Washington State Department of Licensing before you commit. We deliberately don't state a WA legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.

Title in your name or your Washington State Department of Licensing replacement paperwork under way, photo ID, and a lien release if the car was ever financed.
Car emptied — glovebox, console, trunk, under the seats, spare-tire well — a photo of the VIN and odometer, and plates handled per Washington rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Washington sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
