Mo Form 551 PDF Details

Navigating through the complexities of vehicular documentation, particularly after significant repairs or reconstruction, can appear daunting at first glance. Missouri's Department of Revenue simplifies this process through Form 551, a crucial vehicle examination certificate that ensures all modifications are legally recognized and documented. Its primary function is to assist vehicle owners in converting salvage titles into original titles, obtaining new vehicle identification numbers, and classifying vehicles as rebuilt, reconstructed, specially constructed, motor change, kit, or NON-USA-STD. Designed to accompany the mandatory vehicle inspection by authorized personnel, this form demands meticulous attention to detail. Applicants are required to provide comprehensive information regarding any major component parts replaced—defined expansively to include everything from the cowl and rear clip to motors and transmissions—accompanied by notarized bills of sale and relevant title documentation. Additionally, Form 551 addresses the replacement of essential component parts, varying from bumpers to suspension parts for motorcycles, with taxes due unless already paid at purchase. Significantly, the form also caters to vehicles with no parts used, encouraging applicants to detail reasons and repairs undertaken. This exhaustive documentation serves as a testament to Missouri's commitment to ensuring the integrity and safety of its motor vehicle registry, culminating in a legally compliant title process that reflects the vehicle's current state.

REPLICA MOTOR VEHICLE — Effective January 1, 2005, the department will issue a certificate of title with a “replica” brand code to a motor vehicle that has been constructed/reconstructed to resemble a vehicle that is at least 25 years old.
