Selling a junk car in Vermont: title & DMV rules
Vermont requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a South Burlington driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Vermont 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 Vermont is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to the Vermont DMV when you cancel the registration.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the plate-return and registration-cancellation receipts with your bill of sale.
- What Vermont salvage buyers must do
- Vermont only titles vehicles under a certain age — older vehicles are transferred with a bill of sale and registration, which is why scrapping an old Vermont car is often paperwork-light. For titled model years, request a duplicate from the DMV and confirm the age cutoff that applies.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as VT requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
