Selling a junk car in Indiana: title & DMV rules
Indiana requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a New Castle driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Indiana 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 Indiana BMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Indiana is State Form 205 (Application for Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer or surrender it to a BMV branch.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Indiana has no seller notice form; keep the bill of sale and cancel insurance after pickup.
- What Indiana salvage buyers must do
- Indiana allows older, low-value vehicles to be sold to a licensed scrap processor on an affidavit rather than a title, with the buyer reporting the VIN to the state. For anything newer or road-worthy, apply for a duplicate title at a BMV branch first.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as IN requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Indiana BMV.
