Selling a junk car in Minnesota: title & DMV rules

Minnesota requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Minneapolis driveway.

If the title is missing: Minnesota 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 Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Minnesota is Application for Duplicate Title / Notification of Assignment.
License plates: Leave the plates on the vehicle — Minnesota plates transfer with the car unless personalized.
Notice of sale / release of liability: File the seller's Report of Transfer with Minnesota DVS within 10 days of the sale.
What Minnesota salvage buyers must do: Minnesota DVS issues duplicate titles through deputy registrar offices, and salvage pools and scrap processors must report acquisitions. Where ownership is undocumented, DVS uses a bonded or affidavit-based route depending on the vehicle's age and value.
