Selling a junk car in Washington: title & DMV rules
Washington requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Ellensburg driveway.
- If the title is missing
- 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. The duplicate-title paperwork in Washington is Vehicle Certificate of Ownership Application / Junk Vehicle Affidavit.
- License plates
- Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the Report of Sale with the Washington DOL within 5 days — required to end your liability.
- What Washington salvage buyers must 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.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as WA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current WA payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Washington.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Washington State Department of Licensing.
