New York Salvage Examination/Title Application is a process used to determine the status of a vehicle. It is used to identify whether a vehicle has been salvaged, rebuilt, or has been declared a total loss by an insurance company. This process is performed by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (NY DMV) and requires the submission of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the vehicle’s title, and other necessary documents. There are two types of New York Salvage Examination/Title Application: Salvage Examination and Salvage Title Application. The Salvage Examination assesses the vehicle’s condition and identifies whether it has been declared a total loss or rebuilt from salvage. The Salvage Title Application is used to apply for a New York State Salvage Title, which is required for all vehicles that have been declared salvage or rebuilt from salvage.
