The Expert Podcast

• Do you have a vehicle that seems blocked from getting a title?
• What if it has a Certificate of Destruction, Non-Repairable Title, Junk Title, Parts-Only Title, or even just a Bill of Sale from Washington State?
• If you purchased a vehicle from IAA, Copart, or a private seller with one of these designations, it means an insurance company has classified it for scrap or parts only.
• In its current condition, you cannot get a title—but can it be undone?

• Some vehicles may qualify for a salvage title, rebuilt title, or assembled vehicle title.
• To find out, determine if the Certificate of Destruction or Parts-Only Title is hardcoded or soft-coded.
• You can check by visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in person:
  • Fill out a form.
  • Show your ID.
  • The DMV will mail you a report in one to two weeks.
• Many cars with Certificates of Destruction are not severely damaged—some were flood-damaged, stolen and recovered, or had minor issues.

• Before junking the car, check if you can legally re-title it.
• Book a consultation with a certified title agent at cartitles.com to:
