    2. You must have a legible VIN # 

    3. Bring a copy of the title which is required by the state for any vehicle 10 years old or newer

    4. Take your title to the county for them to junk it to avoid future tax

    To sell a converter, the state requires proof of ownership. Examples include title, registration, insurance, repair receipt, or something with your name and the VIN # of the vehicle it came from—paid by check.
