Salvage Vehicles
Salvage Vehicles
Salvage vehicle means any motor vehicle which has been wrecked, destroyed or damaged to the extent that it is declared a total loss by the insurance company or, in the event an insurance company is not involved in the settlement of the claim, sustains damage in an amount exceeding 75 percent of its actual retail cash value.
The owner or insurance company for the vehicle must apply to the county clerk's office for a certificate of title branded "Salvage."
This requirement does NOT apply to vehicles that are currently titled in Wyoming with more than eight years of service, commercial vehicles, and any type of trailer.
Motor vehicles that come into Wyoming with an out-of-state salvage title must obtain a Wyoming salvage title and apply to WYDOT for a Rebuilt Salvage Decal prior to registering the vehicle.
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: WYOMING WILL BRAND A VEHICLE BASED ON INFORMATION FOUND IN THE NATIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE TITLING INFORMATION SYSTEM (NMVTIS) EVEN IF THE CURRENT TITLE APPEARS TO HAVE NO BRANDS!
- Click here to purchase a NMVTIS report and call WYDOT, Motor Vehicle Services at 307-777-4842 or 307-777-4883 if you have any questions regarding whether you will receive a branded title.
