New York title and paperwork rules
Ogdensburg sellers follow New York state law, and the agency of record is New York State DMV. 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: MV-37 (Statement of Ownership) + MV-902 (Duplicate Title). New York does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (MV-37 (Statement of Ownership) + MV-902 (Duplicate Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route.
Plates: Remove the plates and return them to the New York State DMV — surrendering plates protects you from insurance-lapse fines.
Reporting the sale: Keep the DMV plate-surrender receipt (FS-6T) with your bill of sale. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Ogdensburg sellers can do
New York lets owners transfer vehicles model year 1972 and older with a notarized Bill of Sale (MV-50) — no title required. Newer vehicles need a duplicate via MV-902 before a private sale.
Licensed NY 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 MV-37 (Statement of Ownership) + MV-902 (Duplicate Title).
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with New York State DMV before you commit. We deliberately don't state a NY legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.
