In some US states, it is possible to junk a vehicle without having the title. Junking a car without a title in the USA puts a bit of a strain; selling such a car with a title is way easier. This is due to the fact that a car title serves as the common way to show ownership and to legally transfer a car to the junk car buyer. In addition to the varying state laws regarding junking a vehicle, there stays a possibility that alongside junking, other forms of ownership documents will have to be presented, which are of course bound to satisfy certain requirements on the part of the local junk car buyer. You may need a bill of sale, registration, or even a notarized affidavit to prove legal ownership of the car. Addtionally, be ready to present your government issued ID and fill out a few other forms.
Now, some junk car removal companies may not be on board with this titleless vehicle due to the potentially ridiculous legal problems that could ensue. Moreover, operating a car without a title could limit how it can be utilized or resold and thus would require fewer legal processes since they could be regarded as salvage or illegal for in-road use.
Our suggestion would be to contact the local DMV or check their website for more information about how to order a replacement title at a fee. They can give you the most up-to-date information about the process of junking a car without a title in your area.
