Selling a junk car in Delaware: title & DMV rules
Delaware requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Delmar driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Delaware 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 Delaware DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Delaware is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Remove the plate; Delaware plates stay with the owner for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the Delaware DMV of the sale and cancel insurance after the tow.
- What Delaware salvage buyers must do
- Delaware issues duplicate titles through any DMV lane, usually same-visit. Where no title exists, the DMV reviews ownership evidence case by case and may require a bond. Licensed salvage buyers can take a scrap-only car with ID and a bill of sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as DE requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
