Lost your title? Never had one? You can still sell your junk car in most states. We buy thousands of no-title cars every year — here's how it works.

Can I sell a junk car without a title?

Yes — in most U.S. states you can sell a junk car with just your registration and a government-issued ID. JunkUrCar's buyer network is set up to handle no-title transactions in every state that allows them.

Even in stricter states, we can often help you request a duplicate title from the DMV or use a bill of sale, abandoned-vehicle process, or junk certificate.

What you'll need in place of a title

At minimum, you'll typically need your current registration, a photo ID matching the registration, and proof of insurance. Some states also require a notarized bill of sale.

Tell us about your situation when you get your offer and we'll let you know exactly what your state requires before pickup.

What about a salvage or junk certificate?

Many states issue a 'junk' or 'salvage' certificate in place of a title for vehicles that won't be roadworthy again. We buy cars with these certificates routinely.
