Selling a junk car in Louisiana: title & DMV rules
Louisiana requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Central driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Louisiana 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 Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Louisiana is DPSMV 1799 (Vehicle Application).
- License plates
- Remove the plate — Louisiana plates stay with the owner.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the notarized bill of sale; Louisiana requires notarization on most transfers rather than a notice form.
- What Louisiana salvage buyers must do
- Louisiana uses the DPSMV 1799 vehicle application for duplicates and transfers, and notarization is common on Louisiana vehicle documents. Licensed salvage and scrap buyers report purchases; a bonded title covers vehicles with no usable ownership record.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as LA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current LA payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Louisiana.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles.
