If it says “must be rebuilt in NY,” do I need to send the info to NY after rebuilding to get a rebuilt title?

If a vehicle must be rebuilt in New York, it can be done in the owner’s state. However, the vehicle must pass an inspection and obtain a rebuilt title. Here’s what you need to do:

Inspection: The vehicle must be repaired and pass a new inspection at an inspection station of the owner’s choice.

Rebuilt Title: To apply for a rebuilt title, the owner needs to submit the following documents:

• A completed and signed Form MV-1 Title/Tag Application
• The original valid rebuilt title from the other state
• Payment for the title fee (check, money order, or certified funds)

Submission: Submit the documentation to your local county tag office or the DOR/Motor Vehicle Division. For specific guidance, please contact your local DMV.
