Selling a junk car in Missouri: title & DMV rules
Missouri requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Ballwin driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Missouri 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 Missouri Department of Revenue issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Missouri is Form 108 (Application for Title) / Junking Certificate.
- License plates
- Remove your plates — Missouri plates stay with the owner for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the Notice of Sale or Transfer (Form 5049) with the Missouri Department of Revenue.
- What Missouri salvage buyers must do
- Missouri uses a Junking Certificate to permanently retire a vehicle, which is the usual document when a car goes to a recycler rather than back on the road. Duplicate titles and bonded titles both run through the Department of Revenue, and notarization is common.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as MO requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
