Selling a junk car in Alabama: title & DMV rules
Alabama exempts vehicles model year 1975 and older from titling, so an older Hoover car can often be sold on a bill of sale alone. Anything newer needs a title in your name.
- If the title is missing
- Alabama 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 Alabama Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Alabama is MVT 12-1 (Application for Replacement Title).
- License plates
- Remove your plate and keep it — Alabama plates stay with the owner and can be transferred to your next vehicle.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Alabama has no separate seller notice form; keep your signed bill of sale and cancel insurance after pickup.
- What Alabama salvage buyers must do
- Alabama titles vehicles from roughly the mid-1970s forward, so many genuinely old cars are handled on a bill of sale and registration alone. For titled model years, request a replacement title (MVT 12-1) through a designated agent, or ask the Motor Vehicle Division about the bonded-title route when the ownership chain is broken.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as AL requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Alabama Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division.
