Pennsylvania MV-6 Non‑Repairable / Salvage Certificate Form

The Pennsylvania MV-6 is the official Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) application for a non‑repairable or salvage certificate. Whether your vehicle has been totaled, stolen, or otherwise deemed a total loss, you’ll need this form to legally transfer or surrender the title.

What Is the MV-6 Form and When Is It Needed?

The MV-6 is required when you:

• Declare a vehicle as non‑repairable after an accident or flood.
• Apply for a salvage certificate to sell the wrecked vehicle.
• Need to release liability after a total loss.

It is a Pennsylvania BMV document, so it must be completed in English and signed by the vehicle owner (or authorized representative).

4. When finished, click Save & Download to get a PDF you can print or email to the BMV.

Common Mistakes to Avoid on the MV-6

• Incorrect VIN – double‑check the Vehicle Identification Number; a single digit error can delay processing.
• Missing signatures – both the owner and, if applicable, the lienholder must sign.
• Wrong date format – use MM/DD/YYYY as required by the BMV.
• Leaving “N/A” fields blank – write “N/A” or “None” to show the field was considered.

Where to Submit Your Completed MV-6

After saving the completed PDF, you can:

• Mail it to your local PennDOT BMV office.
• Take it in person to a PennDOT Driver & Vehicle Services Center.
• Attach it to an online title‑transfer request if your county offers e‑services.

Always include any required supporting documents (e.g., accident report, proof of ownership) to avoid return of the form.
