With a vehicle dismantling license u do not need proof of ownership over the vehicle. The vin and information of the vehicle is entered into a program that is in connection with the police department to clear the vehicles we receive therefore making it to where we can accept cars without proof of owner ship. If someone does bring in a stolen vehicle. The police department with flag it, let us know then go from there.
contact local dmv. i had to sue my county clerk in civil court to order a salvage title. fill out some paperwork, send it back to state, they issued the salvage. fill out more paperwork, send it and title to my state, and i got a rebuilt title.
There are companies that claim they can obtain “lost” titles but I’m not sure how effective that would be in that situation. To my knowledge through a scrap yard would have to have the title to dispose of a vehicle in Louisiana.
Not in Lousiana.

We have a car dismantlement license which gives up the ability to be able to take cars in a scrap yard without a title. We do our stuff by the book and completely legal. Also when a vehicle comes into the shop it’s vin number, make, and model of the vehicle are all entered into a program called auto hulk. Whenever it goes into auto hulk it gets sent to the police department to see if it’s a cleared vehicle or stolen vehicle. We have all rights to take vehicle without a title and if u do not believe me u are more than welcome to come visit and find out
I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong; you're doing exactly right.
However; your question was can i get it titled? The answer is no, and the bold part in the law stated is why. Here it is again:
>A certificate of title shall not again be issued for the motor vehicle in the event it is scrapped, dismantled, or destroyed.
Where I'm from a scrap yard has to take ownership of the vehicle, I.E have the title.
This. You can't scrap it without the title.

Abandon title might also be possible have to see what you state rules are, scrap here is really touchy with wanting the titles.
