What does “VA Clear Unable to Get Duplicate Title” mean?

This designation is used for vehicles titled in Virginia and refers to both the status of the title and restrictions on obtaining a replacement if lost.

VA Clear

The vehicle has a clear (clean) title issued by the state of Virginia.

• It has no salvage branding, title defects, or liens.
• The vehicle is considered roadworthy under Virginia title status.

Unable to Get Duplicate Title

This means that if the original paper title is lost before registration, a duplicate title cannot be reissued by the Virginia DMV.

• The original title must be preserved and used to complete registration.
• If the title is lost, the vehicle may not be transferable or registrable, depending on state rules.

Important: We strongly advise buyers of vehicles with this status to handle the title carefully once they receive it and to register the vehicle as soon as possible to avoid complications.
