Selling a junk car in New Hampshire: title & DMV rules
New Hampshire requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Portsmouth driveway.
- If the title is missing
- New Hampshire does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in New Hampshire is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to your town or city clerk if you're not transferring them.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the bill of sale; New Hampshire handles registration cancellation locally.
- What New Hampshire salvage buyers must do
- New Hampshire only titles vehicles up to a certain age — older vehicles are transferred on a bill of sale and registration, which makes scrapping an older New Hampshire car unusually simple. For titled model years, request a duplicate from the DMV and confirm which cutoff applies to yours.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NH requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current NH payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in New Hampshire.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the New Hampshire DMV.
