Selling a junk car in Kentucky: title & DMV rules
Kentucky requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Louisville driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Kentucky 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 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Kentucky is TC 96-182 (Application for Kentucky Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plate and return it to your county clerk if you're not transferring it.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Report the sale to your county clerk's office so the record is cleared from your name.
- What Kentucky salvage buyers must do
- Kentucky titling happens at the county clerk's office using TC 96-182, and signatures often need notarization — plan for that before pickup day. Where the title can't be produced, the clerk and Transportation Cabinet will direct you to the bonded or court-ordered route.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as KY requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
