A Maryland Certificate of Salvage is a document issued by the MVA that establishes the ownership of a vehicle. Unlike a vehicle that has a title, a vehicle with a salvage certificate may not be operated on public roads. You may request a "duplicate" salvage certificate if your original certificate has been lost, destroyed, altered, or mutilated. If information on your original certificate is incorrect, you must request a "corrected" salvage certificate. Complete an Application for a Salvage Certificate and submit it, with your original salvage certificate if available, to the Electronic Services Unit in the Glen Burnie office. If you wish to receive the duplicate salvage certificate when you apply in person, you will also need to bring in a proof of your identity such as your driver's license. Otherwise, the duplicate will be mailed to you. Again, complete an Application for a Salvage Certificate and submit it, with your original salvage certificate, to the Electronic Services Unit in the Glen Burnie office. You also need to submit a letter explaining what information needs to be corrected, unless you apply for the corrected certificate in person, in which case you can verbally explain what information needs to be corrected. Note: Corrections to vehicle or owner information may be processed in this manner. Corrections to brand/damage statement on the salvage certificate may require additional documentation.
- There is a fee for a duplicate or corrected salvage certificate.
