What the Mississippi Law Says

Mississippi law limits who can sell or buy detached catalytic converters. Under Miss. Code Ann. § 97-17-71, sellers must:

  • Provide a valid government-issued photo ID
  • Show proof of ownership, such as a vehicle title or bill of sale
  • Present the VIN from the vehicle the converter came from

Buyers, including scrap metal dealers, must:

  • Record the seller’s information and details about the catalytic converter
  • Keep these records for a specified time period
  • Report suspicious transactions to law enforcement

Cash transactions are generally discouraged or prohibited to increase traceability.

✅ Yes! If your catalytic converter is legally owned and you can provide documentation, it is completely legal to sell it in Mississippi.
