identification numbers must be left on all parts. If an identification number appears to have been tampered with or
has been removed, a title may not be issued.
If you are doing a reconstruction that would require the removal of a vehicle identification number (such as cutting the
neck piece on a motorcycle for a custom rake), you must contact the Inspection Unit before beginning the
reconstruction. They will provide you with additional assistance.

frame or major components of a motorcycle cannot be provided, the vehicle is subject to bonding. A
statement of facts and an affidavit of protection must accompany the application for title (See back of
this form for minimum ownership requirements).

Minnesota statute 168A.15 Subd. 3 does not allow DVS to issue titles for junked vehicles. A new title will not be issued to any
vehicle with a title containing the words, "junked, non-repairable, scrapped, dismantled, or destroyed."
Minnesota Statute 235F.6642 requires any branding on a title of an out-of-state vehicle to be included on all future titles used for
that vehicle. For example, if an out-of-state vehicle is branded as flood damaged, that will appear on any future Minnesota title
that is issued for that vehicle.
