Selling a junk car in West Virginia: title & DMV rules
West Virginia requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Augusta driveway.
- If the title is missing
- West Virginia 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 West Virginia DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in West Virginia is DMV-4-TR (Application for Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and return them to the West Virginia DMV.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Cancel the registration when the plates are returned and keep the receipt.
- What West Virginia salvage buyers must do
- West Virginia uses DMV-4-TR for title applications and duplicates, and notarization is common. Plates go back to the DMV and the registration is cancelled at the same time. Mountain-road tow access is the practical constraint on many West Virginia pickups.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as WV requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
