What You Need to Sell a Junk Car in Idaho
Idaho has specific requirements for selling a vehicle. Here's what the Idaho Transportation Department requires to sell your car in Idaho.
-
Certificate of Title
Sign the back of your Idaho title where indicated for the seller. Include the date, sale price, and odometer reading. Both seller and buyer must sign.
-
Odometer Disclosure
Required for vehicles less than 10 years old. Record the exact mileage on the title. Federal law requires accurate disclosure.
-
Bill of Sale
Idaho requires a bill of sale for vehicle transfers. Include the sale price, date, VIN, vehicle description, and both parties' names, addresses, and signatures.
-
Remove Your Plates
Idaho plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle. Remove them before handing over the car. You can transfer them to another vehicle or surrender them to the ITD.
-
Release of Interest
Complete the release of interest section on the title. This formally transfers your ownership rights to the buyer and protects you from future liability.
-
Notify Your Insurance
Contact your insurance company after the sale to cancel coverage on the sold vehicle. If you're transferring plates, update your policy accordingly.
Idaho Inspection Requirements
Idaho is one of the easiest states for selling a car. There are no mandatory safety inspections and no emissions testing anywhere in the state.
This means you can sell any vehicle in any condition without worrying about whether it will pass inspection. Non-running cars, vehicles with mechanical issues, or cars that have been sitting in your barn for years are all fair game.
Good News for Sellers
- No safety inspection required
- No emissions testing statewide
- Sell non-running vehicles easily
- Buyer handles registration
- Minimal paperwork required
- Sell "as-is" without repairs

Sign the back of the title where indicated for the seller. Include the date of sale, sale price, and odometer reading. Both you and the buyer must sign. Complete the release of interest section.
