Motor vehicles, vessels, mobile homes and trailers must be registered at the point of purchase and a certificate of title issued as proof of ownership. A rebuilt certificate of title must be applied for if the out-of-state proof of ownership was issued branded "Salvage" because of a total loss due to damage.Clean title too all legal, running a NVTIS report will show if a salvage title was issued. CarBuyerUSA will submit these documents along with an Application for Certificate of Title (Form HSMV 82040) and the appropriate fee to the DMV for processing. Happening in the state of Florida? Did you buy the car? A Rebuilt, Rebuildable, Salvage Title is a Certificate of Title with the word "Rebuilt" on the front of it. State of Florida will not issue a salvage title. Im not looking to sell it and hide the fact that its been in accident,just want to register it and drive it. If you have obtained a certified vehicle history from NCDMV and it shows the "salvage" brand on the Certificate of Title you may have a claim.
