Selling a junk car in Illinois: title & DMV rules
Illinois requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Oak Park driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Illinois 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 Illinois Secretary of State issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Illinois is VSD-190 (Title Application) / VSD-333 (Junk Certificate).
- License plates
- Remove your plates — Illinois plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Complete the seller's section of the title and file a notice of sale with the Illinois Secretary of State.
- What Illinois salvage buyers must do
- Illinois requires a Junking Certificate (VSD-333) to dispose of a vehicle without a title; bonded titles (Surety Bond Form) handle gaps in the chain of ownership.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as IL requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
