Iowa title rules for selling without a title
- Iowa expects a title for the sale. If yours is lost, request a duplicate through Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Division (Form 411033 (Application for Replacement Title) / Junking Certificate) before pickup.
- Iowa 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 Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Division issues a title you can sign over.
- File the seller's notice of sale with your county treasurer within 30 days of the sale.
- Remove the plates — Iowa plates stay with the owner.
