District of Columbia title rules for selling without a title
- District of Columbia expects a title for the sale. If yours is lost, request a duplicate through District of Columbia DMV (Application for Duplicate Title + Bill of Sale) before pickup.
- District of Columbia 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 District of Columbia DMV issues a title you can sign over.
- Cancel the registration at the time you surrender tags; keep the receipt.
- Remove the tags and surrender them to the DC DMV — tags must be returned when a vehicle is sold or scrapped.
