1. The individual completing MVT 41-1 must verify Vehicle Identification Number (VlN) and other vehicle information
using information obtained from the outstanding certificate of title and the vehicle being reported as salvage. If a discrepancy
in the VlN is found, the owner, in whose name the title is currently issued, must obtain a corrected certificate of title prior to
the submission of the MVT 41-1.
2. The owner information area must be completed using the name of the individual or company that is obtaining the
salvage certificate of title. Individuals must be listed by their last name first, followed by their first name and then middle initial.
Any suffixes such as Jr., Sr. or the III must be listed after the name. The owner’s current mailing address must be listed.
3. The lienholder information should be completed only when there is an outstanding lien on the vehicle. If a lien
recorded on the outstanding certificate of title has been satisfied, a lien release must be provided, unless released on the
certificate of title in the space provided.
4. The owner’s authorization for special mailing section may be completed only when there are no outstanding liens on
the vehicle. If a lien is recorded, then the certificate of title will be mailed to the recorded lienholder regardless of whether
the special mailing authorization is completed.
5. When the owner (individual or company) making application for a salvage certificate of title is either uninsured or
self-insured, SECTION A of the MVT 41-1 must be completed and signed by the applicant. If the total loss was due in
part to water damage, the owner must check the appropriate block in Section A to disclose this fact. If the vehicle is “Junk”
or to be “Sold For Parts Only” the applicant must check the corresponding block in Section A to disclose this fact. The
applicant must also disclose where the total loss occurred.
6. When an insurance company has declared the vehicle to be a total loss, and paid compensation to the owner,
SECTION B must be completed and signed by an authorized representative of the insurance company. The
authorized representative must disclose whether the insurance company is making application for a salvage certificate of
title, or the owner is retaining the salvage on the vehicle, by marking the appropriate block in SECTION B and
completing the OWNER INFORMATION accordingly. The authorized representative must also disclose where the total
loss occurred.
7. When an insurance company has declared the vehicle to be a total loss, due in part to water damage, the authorized
representative must check the appropriate block in Section B to disclose this fact. If the vehicle is “Junk” or to be “Sold For
Parts Only” the authorized representative must check the corresponding block in Section B to disclose this fact.
8. The outstanding certificate of title for the vehicle must be provided with the MVT 41-1. If the vehicle is being
transferred to an insurance company as a result of a total loss, the titled owner must properly assign the vehicle to the
insurance company.
9. A vehicle which is declared junk or to be sold for parts only can not be rebuilt or retitled in Alabama.
