Form MV-426B Completion Instructions

NOTE: An individual who has not been paid the replacement value for the recovered theft vehicle and has not received a certificate of salvage, may use their existing certificate of title without applying for a new certificate of title.

Only those safety inspection stations appointed and under contract with PennDOT as an Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspection Station, may perform inspections for compliance with all applicable equipment and inspection regulations for the purpose of titling the vehicle in Pennsylvania on the following vehicles: reconstructed, flood, specially constructed, recovered theft, collectible, modified vehicles and street rods.

Applications for reconstructed and flood branded titles must be processed through an Online Business Partner. NOTE: An Online Business Partner may be found on our website at www.dmv.pa.gov by clicking on the Business Partner link underneath the Information Centers heading. Then select the Online Registration Program tab and the " Online Registration Program (OLRP) Location Guide (PDF)" link within that tab.

Additional processing fees may be charged. All other applications must be mailed to:

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Department of Transportation

Bureau of Motor Vehicles

Special Services Unit

P.O. Box 69007

Harrisburg, PA 17106-9007

Applicant Information - All applicant information must be entered exactly as it is to appear on the certificate of title. A Pennsylvania Certificate of Title will only be issued to a physical address; you may not use a post office box address alone or an out-of-state address. If the certificate of title or salvage certificate was previously issued to co-owners, both owners must sign Form MV-426B or Form MV-1 must be completed to change the ownership on the new title. All out-of-state proof of ownership documents must be accompanied by a completed Form MV-1. NOTE: Individuals should list their PA Driver’s License (PA DL) or Photo ID# in the space provided. Businesses should list their Business ID# (Bus. ID), where indicated (i.e. E.I.N.).

Vehicle Type - If the vehicle type is a mobile home, "mobile home" should be specified in the "Other" block. Mobile homes do not need to be inspected by an enhanced vehicle safety inspector, and an inspection sticker does not need to be affixed to Form MV-426B. A detailed description of how the mobile home was reconstructed must be attached to your application along with interior and exterior photographs. Your application must be signed by a certified document reviewer and forwarded to PennDOT for processing.

Previously abandoned vehicles and vehicles that were impounded and subsequently sold are considered reconstructed vehicles. Check "Other" in the Vehicle Type block, provide an explanation of how the vehicle was acquired and the level of damage, if any.

Weight Certification - The weight certification for trucks, truck-tractors and trailers must be completed by a certified enhanced vehicle safety inspector if the correct weight(s) do not appear on the vehicle's certificate of title or salvage certificate (such as unladen weight, gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating). A weight slip for the unladen (empty) weight must be attached if the correct unladen weight does not appear on the certificate of title or salvage certificate. It is not necessary to complete the weight certification in order to change the registered gross weight of a vehicle. Previously titled vehicles that have been altered to raise or lower the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) must be certified by the vehicle manufacturer. A new VIN-specific weight certification decal must be issued for the vehicle by the manufacturer. This label must be affixed to the left (driver's side) door jamb or door latch post.

Components Repaired/Replaced - With the exception of out-of-state vehicles described below, all major components that have been replaced or repaired should be indicated on the application. For all items replaced, you must provide a copy of a receipt or invoice or a copy of the Pennsylvania Certificate of Title or Salvage Certificate for another vehicle (which you own) from which parts were taken. It is not necessary to attach receipts for repaired components (such as labor for body work). Repair estimates may be used as receipts if they are marked "Paid" and signed and dated by someone authorized by the repair facility to do so. Repair estimates that are not marked "Paid" or those that are not signed and dated are not acceptable for use as receipts.

If the vehicle is coming to Pennsylvania on an out-of-state title that has already been branded (e.g., rebuilt salvage, reconstructed, previously salvaged, etc.), you are not required to document components repaired/replaced, nor provide receipts for parts replaced. Vehicles coming to Pennsylvania on a branded out-of-state title are permitted to obtain a temporary Pennsylvania registration and the vehicle may be operated while Form MV-426B is being processed. If the vehicle is coming to Pennsylvania on an out-of-state salvage certificate, you must present receipts and comply with all requirements under the Form MV-426B process. NOTE: These vehicles may not be operated while Form MV-426B is being processed.

If a truck cab is replaced, Form MV-41, "Application for Correction of Vehicle Record or Verification of Vehicle Identification Number," must be attached to Form MV-426B to request a state replacement VIN Plate. Under Section C (Application for State Replacement VIN Plate), check "Other" and indicate the cab was replaced. The VIN specified on Form MV-41 should be the VIN that appears on the frame of the vehicle (not the VIN displayed on the replacement cab). NOTE: Form MV-41 and the corresponding Form MV-426B must be submitted to PennDOT for processing.

When an odometer is repaired or replaced, the mileage indicated must remain the same as before the repair or replacement. If the odometer is incapable of registering the same mileage as before the repair or replacement, the odometer must be adjusted to read zero (0) and a notice in writing must be attached to the left door frame of the vehicle specifying the mileage prior to repair or replacement of the odometer and the date on which it was repaired or replaced.

Fee calculations should be completed and signed by the certified document reviewer. For a listing of current registration fees, please refer to Form MV-70S, “Bureau of Motor Vehicles Schedule of Fees,” found on our website at www.dmv.pa.gov. All checks or money orders should be made payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Authorized Signatures - Signatures must be present for the applicant, enhanced vehicle safety inspector (not required for mobile homes) and certified document reviewer. If the vehicle is to be titled in the name of a business, the application must be signed by an owner or corporate officer of the business.

Should you choose to personalize your registration plate, please complete and attach Form MV-904, "Application for Personalized, Amateur Radio Operator, or Press Photographer Registration Plate," to this application. There is an additional fee required with personalization requests. NOTE: If requesting your Street Rod registration plate to be personalized, complete and attach Form MV-904SR, "Application for Personalized Street Rod Registration Plate," to this application.

(NOTE: A MCO/MSO that indicates the vehicle is not intended for highway use (or similar designation) cannot be titled in Pennsylvania.) Specially constructed vehicles may have a bill of sale as acceptable proof of ownership (if no other ownership document exists).

rUnacceptable forms of proof of ownership include Form 907A issued by the state of New York, or any title, certificate of origin, statement of origin or certificate of salvage that indicates the vehicle is to be used for parts only; is not suitable to be rebuilt or titled or is not designed, constructed or intended for use on a public roadway. This includes statements of origin for all terrain vehicles (ATVs).

rAppraisal report for flood or recovered theft vehicles where the damage does not exceed the replacement value of the vehicle. An acceptable appraisal report must contain the name and signature of the licensed appraiser; the appraiser's license number; the VIN of the vehicle appraised; the level of damage (in dollars); and the actual cash value of the vehicle (prior to flood or theft). NOTE: If the owner is a self-insurer, the assessment of damage must be completed by a licensed physical damage appraiser who is not affiliated with or employed by the self-insurer.

An acceptable bill of sale includes: the seller's name; seller's signature; buyer's name; Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); date of sale; purchase price; and if applicable, a statement from the seller indicating the vehicle was already completed at the time of purchase and no branded title was obtained by the seller.

This letter (on the insurance company or insurance agent's letterhead) should indicate the amount deducted from the insurance pay-off (settlement) to allow the insured to retain the vehicle.

rCopies of all receipts for all components replaced as indicated on Form MV-426B (if required). If you indicate a component was taken from another vehicle, a copy of the salvage certificate or title (in your name) for the parts vehicle must be attached in lieu of a receipt. NOTE: Only business entities (dealers, rebuilders, etc.) titling the vehicle in the business name may claim parts used in the reconstruction were taken from existing inventory, and therefore, no receipts are needed. If a dealer or rebuilder reconstructed a vehicle for the applicant, the parts used to complete the vehicle may be listed on the bill of sale.

r A weight slip if the correct unladen weight of a truck, trailer or truck-tractor is not listed on the certificate of title or salvage.
