Selling a junk car in Alaska: title & DMV rules
Alaska requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a North Pole driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Alaska uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond โ typically 1.5ร the vehicle's appraised value โ and the Alaska DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Alaska is Application for Duplicate Title + Bill of Sale.
- License plates
- Remove the plates; Alaska plates belong to the owner and may be transferred.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a notice of transfer with the Alaska DMV so the record no longer shows the car in your name.
- What Alaska salvage buyers must do
- Alaska allows licensed salvage buyers to purchase vehicles when the owner cannot locate the title, provided ID and a notarized Bill of Sale are presented. A bonded title or duplicate title is typically required before a standard private sale.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as AK requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
Rules change โ confirm current forms and filing windows with the Alaska DMV.
