Virginia (VA) salvage titles for used cars are obtained through the VA Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Visit a local DMV office and request a Salvage Certificate Application (Form VSA 56).
The form is also available for download at the DMV website.
Additional documents you need to apply for a salvage title are:
Pay the $10 title fee. Include a copy of the auto title with the application. Mail the application and the titling fee to:
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
PO Box 27412
