The one-page notice that tells the Registry a vehicle has been destroyed. It is signed by the company doing the junking rather than by the owner, and it ends the vehicle's record permanently: a junked status means the car cannot be registered or titled again. The certificate of title goes in the same envelope.
Written against TTL108 (TTL108_1119, November 2019), issued under M.G.L. c.90D s.20(e).
Scrapping a car does not cancel its registration, and the two are handled by different offices. The yard files this form with the Title Division; the registration in your name stays live, and the excise bills keep coming, until you cancel it yourself.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank TTL108 from the mass.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual TTL108, rendered from the PDF the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
The seller's name appears in section D and nowhere else - this is a form about you rather than by you. What it does not do is touch your registration, which is a separate cancellation you have to make yourself.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
Somebody else fills this in
Whose form this is
The company junking or scrapping the vehicle, signing under the pains and penalties of perjury.
Watch out: As the owner you supply the certificate of title and your details for section D. The signature at the foot is theirs.
2
Somebody else fills this in
Section B, the yard
Name or business name, address, email and telephone.
Watch out: Ask for a copy once it is completed. It is the only evidence you have that the vehicle no longer exists.
3
Somebody else fills this in
Section C, the vehicle
Model year, make, model, vehicle identification number, title number and state.
Watch out: Where the vehicle is old enough to be outside the title law, the registration number goes in the title number box - the form says so in the box itself.
4
You fill this in
Section D, where it came from
Your name or business name, address, and the date the yard took it.
Watch out: Check this before it is posted. It is the entry that connects the destruction of the car to the person who owned it.
5
Somebody else fills this in
Section E, the date it was scrapped
The date, then the authorised signature and printed name.
Watch out: The date matters to you: it is the date after which nothing that happens to the vehicle can reasonably be yours.
6
You fill this in
Cancel the registration separately
Online through myRMV, or on the affidavit if two owners are named.
Watch out: This form goes to the Title Division and does nothing to the registration. Until you cancel, the Registry still shows a live registration and the town still bills excise on it.

What goes where
On the form
What to put in it
A, Requirements and Instructions
One sentence citing chapter 90D section 20(e): complete this form and mail it, with the certificate of title, to the Title Division in Boston.
B, Information of Person Junking the Vehicle
Last name, first name, middle initial, suffix or business name, street address, city, state, ZIP, email and telephone.
C, Vehicle Information
Model year, make, model, vehicle identification number, title number - or registration number if the vehicle is exempt from titling - and state.
D, Vehicle Purchased or Received From
The previous owner's name or business name, address, and the date of purchase or receipt.
E, Certification and Signature
The date the vehicle was junked or scrapped, then the authorised signature of the company junking the vehicle and a printed name, certified under the pains and penalties of perjury.
What gets this one rejected
•An owner signing section E. The signature line is labelled authorised signature, company junking the vehicle.
•Sending the form without the certificate of title.
•A missing section D. The Registry records who the vehicle came from as well as who destroyed it, and the date it changed hands.
•Using it for a car that is being sold for parts but still exists. Junked is a status meaning the vehicle is incapable of operation and has been scrapped.
•Expecting to undo it. A vehicle in junked status cannot be registered or titled again.
Every line here was read off TTL108 (TTL108_1119, November 2019) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles pages.
This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ,
theirs governs.
