Selling a junk car in Arkansas: title & DMV rules
Arkansas requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Malvern driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Arkansas 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 Arkansas DFA Office of Motor Vehicle issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Arkansas is Application for Replacement Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer or disposal.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Arkansas has no seller notice form; keep the bill of sale and cancel your registration/insurance.
- What Arkansas salvage buyers must do
- Arkansas processes replacement titles through the Office of Motor Vehicle, and uses a bonded-title path when no prior title can be produced. Licensed salvage dealers and scrap buyers can generally purchase an end-of-life vehicle with ID plus a notarized bill of sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as AR requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current AR payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Arkansas.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Arkansas DFA Office of Motor Vehicle.
