Wyoming Car-Selling Guide

How to Sell a Car Without a Title in Wyoming

Lost, damaged, or never received your Wyoming title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Wyoming rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.

Wyoming issues titles through the county clerk, and signatures need to be notarized. Here's how to replace a lost title and sell.

Path 1 — Most vehicles

Get a duplicate title

Complete the Application for Duplicate Title — it must be notarized and signed by all owners — with the $15 fee, by mail or in person at the county clerk where the original was issued. If there's a lien, include a termination statement or the lienholder's permission.

Path 2 — No proof of ownership

Bonded title

If you can't provide a title or acceptable proof of ownership, Wyoming issues a title only after a bonded-title process: a completed affidavit of ownership, a VIN inspection by law enforcement, a title search from WYDOT Motor Vehicle Services, certified letters to any lienholders or the previous owner, and establishing the vehicle's retail value for the surety bond.

Skip the paperwork

Before You Sell

A quick checklist

Three things worth confirming before you hand over the keys.

  • Check for a lien. Any recorded lien must be released before a clean title can issue.
  • Keep a bill of sale. A written record — buyer and seller info, vehicle details, price, and date — protects you.
  • Match the name. The seller's name should match the title record.
