GUIDE FOR RECONSTRUCTED AND SPECIALLY ASSEMBLED VEHICLES: Vehicles that have been reconstructed, or specially assembled, are subject to a motor vehicle inspection. Vehicle 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.

Required Application Documents:

• Completed Application to Title and/or Register a Motor Vehicle (PS2000)
   
• Completed Declaration of Reconstruction (PS2015). Please be specific about the alterations or reconstruction done to the vehicle.
   
• Proof of ownership for all major parts used in the reconstruction. Please note: If minimum proof of ownership for each cab, body or frame of a car or truck; or for the 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.

Additional information or documents may be requested after application is reviewed by central office.
