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.
Top 10 states and title requirements
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Vermont, and many others allow no-title sales for older vehicles. California, New York, Florida, and Texas have stricter rules but we still purchase no-title vehicles there through alternative documentation.
When in doubt, get your free instant offer above — we'll guide you through whatever paperwork your state requires.
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.

Selling a junk car in Indiana: title & DMV rules
Indiana requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Chesterton driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Indiana 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 Indiana BMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Indiana is State Form 205 (Application for Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plate and keep it for transfer or surrender it to a BMV branch.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Indiana has no seller notice form; keep the bill of sale and cancel insurance after pickup.
- What Indiana salvage buyers must do
- Indiana allows older, low-value vehicles to be sold to a licensed scrap processor on an affidavit rather than a title, with the buyer reporting the VIN to the state. For anything newer or road-worthy, apply for a duplicate title at a BMV branch first.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as IN requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current IN payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Indiana.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Indiana BMV.
