Alaska car selling questions

Do I need a title to sell my car in Alaska?

For a titled vehicle, yes: the title is how ownership passes to the buyer. To replace a lost Alaska title, apply to the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles with Form 809 (Affidavit of Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Title, notarized). The fee is $15.

Can I junk a car without a title in Alaska?

In most cases you'll need the title or a duplicate. State law ties ownership to the title, and licensed scrap buyers also have to report the vehicles they buy to the federal NMVTIS database. Tell us your situation and we'll confirm what the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles accepts before pickup.

Do I keep my license plates when I sell a car in Alaska?

In Alaska, the license plates stay with the car when you sell it. Standard plates stay with the car. Remove personalized or specialty plates; the buyer gets new plates at no charge.

How do I tell the Alaska DMV that I sold my car?

File the Notice of Vehicle Sale for Transfer with the state within 10 days of the sale, and you can file it online. It records that the car is no longer yours. Filing it protects you from tickets, tolls and liability for anything that happens after the car leaves.

Is pickup really free everywhere in Alaska?

Yes. Towing is free anywhere in Alaska a tow truck can reach, and nothing is deducted from your offer for it.
