California title rules for selling without a title
- California lets 1980-and-older vehicles sell without a title using a bill of sale; newer vehicles need a title, and a lost one can be replaced through California DMV (REG 227 (Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title)).
- California does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (REG 227 (Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route.
- File a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) with the DMV within 5 days — this is what ends your liability.
- Leave the plates on the vehicle unless they are personalized — California plates stay with the car.
