Selling a junk car in Alaska: title & DMV rules
Alaska requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Fairbanks driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Alaska 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 Alaska DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Alaska is Form 812 (Application for Title & Registration).
- License plates
- Remove the plates; Alaska plates belong to the owner and may be transferred.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a notice of transfer with the Alaska DMV so the record no longer shows the car in your name.
- What Alaska salvage buyers must do
- Alaska handles replacement titles through Form 812 at any DMV office, and mail turnaround to remote communities is slow — start the paperwork before you schedule a tow. Licensed dismantlers can usually take a scrap-only vehicle with ID and a bill of sale; confirm the current standard with the DMV.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as AK requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
