Selling a junk car in Ohio: title & DMV rules
Ohio requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Mentor driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Ohio 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 Ohio BMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Ohio is BMV 3774 (Salvage Inspection) / BMV 3753 (Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove your plates — Ohio plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Ohio has no seller notice form; keep the bill of sale and the notarized title assignment.
- What Ohio salvage buyers must do
- Ohio requires a bonded title through the Clerk of Courts when no title exists. Scrap yards must check the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) before accepting any untitled car.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as OH requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
