Lost, damaged, or never received your Alaska title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Alaska rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
In Alaska, the title is the only valid proof of ownership — a bill of sale alone can't transfer a vehicle. If your title is lost, here's how to fix it and sell, based on Alaska DMV rules.
Complete a notarized Affidavit of Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Title (Form 809) and an Application for Title & Registration (Form 812), then submit in person or by mail with the $15 fee. If a lien is listed, include a lien release.
If you can't establish ownership, Alaska uses a bonded title: a 3-year surety bond worth 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value, a vehicle inspection (Form 811), and a notarized affidavit of ownership. Note: vehicles or trailers weighing 500 lbs or less may be exempt from the bond — check with your local DMV.
