Selling a junk car in Hawaii: title & DMV rules
Hawaii requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Lihue driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Hawaii does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (County Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Hawaii is County Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- License plates
- Leave the plates on the vehicle — Hawaii plates transfer with the car.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a notice of transfer with your county motor vehicle office, generally within 10 days.
- What Hawaii salvage buyers must do
- Hawaii titling is run by the counties, not a single state DMV, so the exact form and fee depend on whether you're on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, or Kauai. Start with your county's motor vehicle office for a duplicate title, and note that inter-island scrap logistics affect both timing and payout.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as HI requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Hawaii county motor vehicle offices.
