Selling a junk car in Connecticut: title & DMV rules
Connecticut requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Meriden driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Connecticut does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (H-6B (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Connecticut is H-6B (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to the Connecticut DMV to cancel the registration — this is required to avoid insurance-lapse penalties.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Cancel registration when you surrender plates and keep the DMV receipt with your bill of sale.
- What Connecticut salvage buyers must do
- Connecticut does not title the oldest model years, so many junk cars move on a bill of sale and prior registration. For titled vehicles, file H-6B for a duplicate. Plates must go back to the DMV — that surrender is what closes the registration and protects you from insurance-lapse penalties.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as CT requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current CT payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Connecticut.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Connecticut DMV.
