Selling a junk car in Michigan: title & DMV rules
Michigan requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Battle Creek driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Michigan does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (TR-11L (Application for Duplicate Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Michigan is TR-11L (Application for Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove your plate — Michigan plates stay with the owner and can be transferred.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Notify the Michigan Secretary of State of the sale, generally within 15 days.
- What Michigan salvage buyers must do
- Michigan licensed scrap processors can accept a vehicle without a title if it's reported on the Auto Theft Database and the owner signs a Scrap Vehicle Inventory form. Duplicate title via TR-11L for $15.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as MI requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
