Sec. 81.7. Distribution and return of form MV-907A

(a) Section 429 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law provides that the commissioner shall designate a statement of acquisition which shall serve as proof of ownership for a junk and salvage vehicle and which may be used to transfer such vehicle. This statement of acquisition shall be form MV-907A and shall, except as otherwise provided, consist of three parts: a transfer copy, a DMV copy and a file copy. The department will issue a supply of MV-907A forms to insurance companies, registered vehicle dismantlers and registered itinerant vehicle collectors for use in business after submission of properly completed requests for such forms. These businesses shall take reasonable precautions to insure that these forms are not lost or stolen. An MV-907A which is lost or stolen should be reported in writing to the Division of Vehicle Safety Services in Albany and in writing or orally to the local police. If a person other than an insurance company, registered vehicle dismantler or registered itinerant vehicle collector is required to submit form MV-907A in order to transfer a junk and salvage vehicle or otherwise comply with the requirements of these regulations, such person may make application for an MV-907A for such transaction to: Title Bureau, Department of Motor Vehicles, Empire State Plaza, Swan Street Building, Albany, NY 12228. A copy of the proof of ownership must accompany the request for form MV-907A.

(b) Blank forms MV-907A are not transferrable from business to business. When a registered business ceases to operate, whether through sale, retirement, bankruptcy, suspension, revocation or other cause, any blank forms MV-907A shall be returned to the Division of Vehicles Safety Services of the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days.
