Selling a junk car in Wisconsin: title & DMV rules
Wisconsin requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Beaver Dam driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin DOT Division of Motor Vehicles issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Wisconsin is MV2119 (Duplicate Title) / Junked Vehicle Notice.
- License plates
- Remove the plates — Wisconsin plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a notice of sale with the Wisconsin DMV, online or by mail.
- What Wisconsin salvage buyers must do
- Wisconsin issues duplicate titles on MV2119 and has a specific junked-vehicle notice used when a car is retired to scrap rather than resold. Filing the seller's notification (MV2928) is what closes the record in your name.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as WI requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
