SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES FOR VEHICLES TO BE DEMOLISHED; SECURING NEW TITLE
CERTIFICATES (§ 46.2-635)

Every person disposing of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer which is to
be demolished shall make an assignment of title to the transferee as provided in
§ 46.2-628. The assigned certificate of title, when available, however, shall
be delivered to the Department, accompanied by a form provided by the
Commissioner, stating that the vehicle is to be demolished. On receipt of this
form and the assigned title, the Commissioner shall forward to the transferee a
receipt for them.

If the person, in lieu of demolishing the vehicle, sells, transfers, or operates
the motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer, he shall first secure a certificate
of title from the Department. Before issuing the new certificate of title, the
Department shall inspect, or have inspected, the reconstructed vehicle.

If a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer obtained for use or resale, is
subsequently demolished, the owner shall immediately surrender its certificate
of title to the Department.
