Salvage title vehicles cannot be legally driven or insured, but there is a process for returning them to working order so that they can be driven and insured again. This process is known as rebuilding or restoring a title.

To register your Revived Salvage Vehicle, you will need: A Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) form or CHP Certificate of Inspection (CHP 97C) form. Brake and light adjustment certificates. Applicable fees.

A completed Application for Title or Registration (REG 343) form, signed by the current vehicle owner(s). Proof of ownership, such as a Bill of Sale (REG 135) form or a Vehicle/vessel Transfer and Reassignment (REG 262) form from a licensed dismantler (make sure you include the dismantler's vehicle acquisition number).

If you have a salvage title or purchased a car with one, here's how to get a salvage title cleared in California. Can I get rid of a salvage title on my car? ... Step 1: Repair the damage to the vehicle. ... Step 2: Complete the required California documentation. ... Step 3: Schedule an inspection with a California-approved inspector.

California can require a smog check and brake-and-lamp inspection if a vehicle becomes titled salvaged.

An Application for Salvage Certificate or Nonrepairable Vehicle Certificate (REG 488C) form completed and signed by the owner or insurance company, as appropriate. A computer-generated Application for Salvage Certificate or Nonrepairable Vehicle form preapproved by DMV headquarters may be submitted by a salvage pool.

No, you can't get insurance for salvage cars. Once a car is declared a total loss, it's destined for the scrapyard — unless it's sufficiently repaired and rebuilt.

While you can't clear the salvage title, California allows you to earn a rebuilt title to prove your car is a “revived salvage vehicle.” While you might think you're in the clear when you have a rebuilt title, it can still be difficult to get insured.
