How to Sell a Junk Car Without a Title

Lost your car title? Don't worry - you can still sell your junk car for cash. In this guide, we'll explain your options and how to navigate the process in Georgia.

Why You Might Not Have a Title

• Lost or damaged during a move
• Car was inherited and title was never transferred
• Purchased from a private seller who didn't provide one
• Lien was never released by the bank

Option 1: Get a Replacement Title

In Georgia, you can apply for a duplicate title through the Department of Revenue. You'll need:

• Form MV-1 (title/tag application)
• Valid photo ID
• $8 fee
• Wait time: 2-4 weeks

Option 2: Sell With Alternative Documentation

Many junk car buyers, including RidOfMyCar.com, can work with you even without a title. We'll need to verify ownership through other means:

• Vehicle registration in your name
• Valid driver's license or state ID
• Bill of sale from original purchase
• Insurance documents showing ownership

Important Considerations

Keep in mind that selling without a title may result in a slightly lower offer (typically 10% less) due to the additional paperwork and risk involved. However, it's still a viable option if you need to sell quickly.
