Selling a junk car in Nevada: title & DMV rules
Nevada requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Elko driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Nevada 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 Nevada DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Nevada is VP 012 (Application for Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and surrender them to the Nevada DMV or transfer them to another vehicle.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Cancel the registration when you surrender the plates and keep the DMV receipt.
- What Nevada salvage buyers must do
- Nevada duplicates use VP 012 and can often be requested online. Nevada expects plates to come back to the DMV, and the registration cancellation is what stops the record from staying open in your name. A bonded title covers a broken ownership chain.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NV requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
