Umjesto certifikat može i dokaz.

Suština je u tome da se time dokazuje vlasništvo, ali ne dozvoljava korišćenje vozila u saobraćaju.

A salvage certificate is prima facie evidence of ownership of a salvage vehicle.

A certificate of salvage is a document issued by the MVA that establishes the ownership of a vehicle. However, unlike a certificate of title, which is also an ownership document, a vehicle with a certificate of salvage may not be operated on public roads.

A salvage vehicle is a vehicle that has one or more major component parts that have been wrecked, destroyed, damaged, stolen, or missing, to the extent that the total estimated cost of repairs (parts and labor) is 75% or more, but less than 91%, of the vehicle's pre-damaged actual cash value.
