1. What is the Salvage Vehicle Examination Program?

If a salvage vehicle is rebuilt for use on roadways, the DMV must examine it before the DMV can issue a new title certificate or registration.  The required examination is part of the NYS Auto Theft Prevention Program.  The program includes vehicles that were issued a NYS Salvage Certificate (MV-907A).  The program also includes rebuilt salvage vehicles from most other states.

A NYS title certificate issued after the date of May 18, 1999 for a rebuilt salvage vehicle displays the brand, "Rebuilt Salvage".  Some title certificates issued before May 19, 1999 also show this brand.  Read more information about the salvage branding process.

The salvage vehicle examination is not a safety inspection, an emissions inspection, or an insurance examination.  The salvage vehicle examination is a separate and additional examination conducted by DMV investigators.

The DMV Division of Field Investigations Auto Theft Unit administers the Salvage Vehicle Examination Program.

Why is this examination required?

The NYS law requires the salvage vehicle examination to determine if a rebuilt salvage vehicle is stolen or includes stolen parts. The salvage vehicle examination program:

  • protects consumers,
  • finds stolen items, and
  • prevents the theft of vehicles and vehicle parts.

What is a salvage vehicle?

A salvage vehicle is a vehicle that was transferred to an insurance company because it was stolen or because it has significant damage.  The damage can occur because of a collision, theft, vandalism, or damage from water.

Any vehicle is a salvage vehicle if the cost of the repairs to restore the vehicle are more than 75% of the pre-damage retail value of the vehicle.

A salvage vehicle that is recovered after a theft or rebuilt after the damage must be examined by the DMV before the DMV can issue a new title certificate or registration.

The DMV will not examine or issue a title certificate or a vehicle registration to a rebuilt vehicle that has an out-of-state title certificate that is labeled "parts only", "non-rebuildable", or  "non-repairable". The DMV will not examine or issue a title certificate or a vehicle registration to a rebuilt salvage vehicle that does not have a title certificate or form MV-907A that proves ownership.
