Selling a junk car in Minnesota: title & DMV rules
Minnesota requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Ham Lake driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Minnesota 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 Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Minnesota is Application for Duplicate Title / Notification of Assignment.
- License plates
- Leave the plates on the vehicle — Minnesota plates transfer with the car unless personalized.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the seller's Report of Transfer with Minnesota DVS within 10 days of the sale.
- What Minnesota salvage buyers must do
- Minnesota DVS issues duplicate titles through deputy registrar offices, and salvage pools and scrap processors must report acquisitions. Where ownership is undocumented, DVS uses a bonded or affidavit-based route depending on the vehicle's age and value.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as MN requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
