Selling a junk car in New Jersey: title & DMV rules
New Jersey requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a South Plainfield driveway.
- If the title is missing
- New Jersey 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 New Jersey MVC issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in New Jersey is OS/SS-52 (Application for Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and surrender them to the New Jersey MVC — plates must be returned when a vehicle is junked.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the MVC surrender receipt with your bill of sale, then cancel insurance.
- What New Jersey salvage buyers must do
- New Jersey requires a title for virtually every sale, and the MVC is strict about signatures and lien releases. Duplicates use OS/SS-52 and often require an in-person agency visit. Plates go back to the MVC; keep the surrender receipt with your bill of sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NJ requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current NJ payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in New Jersey.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the New Jersey MVC.
