Duplicate certificates of salvage title
Sec. 10. (a) If a certificate of salvage title is lost, mutilated, or
destroyed or becomes illegible, the person who owns the vehicle or
the legal representative or legal successor in interest of the person
who owns the motor vehicle, semitrailer, or recreational vehicle for
which the certificate of salvage title was issued, as shown by the
records of the bureau of motor vehicles, shall immediately apply for
a duplicate certificate of salvage title.
(b) A person described in subsection (a) may obtain a duplicate
certificate of salvage title when the person furnishes information
concerning the loss, mutilation, destruction, or illegibility
satisfactory to the department and pays the fee set forth in IC 9-29-7.
Upon the issuance of a duplicate certificate of salvage title, the most
recent certificate of salvage title issued is considered void by the
department.
(c) A certificate of salvage title issued under this section must
have recorded upon the title's face and back the words "DUPLICATE
SALVAGE TITLE".
(d) If the lost, mutilated, destroyed, or illegible certificate of
salvage title contained the notation "FLOOD DAMAGED", the
duplicate certificate of salvage title must have recorded upon the
title's face and back the words "FLOOD DAMAGED".
