What the MV-602 is and why it matters
The MV-602 is Wyoming's Branded Title Disclosure Statement. W.S. 31-2-109 requires a dealer (or any owner) who knowingly offers a car with a branded title to disclose the brand to the buyer before the sale, on the department's form, and to get the buyer's signature acknowledging it before the deal is completed. The seller keeps a signed copy. Skip the buyer's signature and the sale is voidable: the buyer can undo it with a written notice up to 30 days after the title is issued in their name.
The form itself is short: who's disclosing, which brand the title carries, the vehicle, and two signature blocks. The judgment calls are which box to check and whether an older car still needs one. This guide walks it top to bottom, plus the rebuilt-salvage process a branded car goes through before you can retail it.
The MV-602 is the form Wyoming law calls the department's notification form for branded titles (W.S. 31-2-109). It's a two-part set: the footer reads "White Copy (Buyer) Yellow Copy (Seller)." WYDOT's dealer page says the forms "may be Purchased from Motor Vehicle Services" and links the PDF as a sample, while its salvage page lists the same PDF as an applicable form. WYDOT doesn't say whether a printout of the PDF satisfies the law's "form prescribed by the department," so if you sell branded cars regularly, the official sets from Motor Vehicle Services (307-777-4717) remove the question. Some county clerk sites post a retyped version footed "MV-601"; WYDOT's own files say MV-602. The PDF has no fillable fields, so it's completed by hand.
Documents to have before you start
Gather these before you complete the MV-602. A missing attachment is the number-one reason the Wyoming Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Services bounces a title application back.
- The vehicle's current title — The brand you check has to match what the title says now. A car that came in on a salvage title and has since been retitled carries the "rebuilt" brand, not "salvage."
- A title-history (NMVTIS) report — WYDOT says it will brand a vehicle based on NMVTIS records "even if the current title appears to have no brands," so a clean-looking out-of-state title isn't proof there's nothing to disclose.
- A blank MV-602 set — From WYDOT Motor Vehicle Services, 5300 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82009, (307) 777-4717, or the PDF linked above.
- The MV-300A title application for the deal — It asks its own branded-title questions. The MV-602 isn't attached to it, except that flood status must be disclosed to the county clerk at the next title application.
MV-602, section by section
Who's disclosing, and which brand
The form opens with "I, ____ (Name of person making disclosure) hereby state that the vehicle title has been branded:" Print the name of the person signing for the dealership. Then check the brand: NON-REPAIRABLE, FLOOD, SALVAGE, REBUILT SALVAGE, or OTHER-LIST BRAND with the wording written in. Wyoming's definitions: a salvage vehicle is one an insurer declared a total loss, or one whose repair cost exceeds 75% of its actual retail cash value. A flood vehicle had water over the door sill into the passenger or trunk compartment, with damage below the salvage threshold. A rebuilt salvage vehicle was titled salvage, then rebuilt and decaled. Use OTHER for brands carried forward from another state, like "reconstructed" or "parts only," in the same words the title uses.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Name of person making disclosure (print) The person signing for the dealership. | You (dealer) |
NON-REPAIRABLE / FLOOD / SALVAGE / REBUILT SALVAGE Check the brand on the current title. | You (dealer) |
OTHER-LIST BRAND Out-of-state brands, written exactly as on the title. | You (dealer) |
The vehicle: make, year, and VIN
The vehicle block has MAKE and YEAR, a third box with no printed label, and the VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. Copy the VIN from the title, all 17 characters. Leave the unlabeled box blank or use it for the model; the form doesn't say. There's no odometer, title number, or dealer license line on this form.

Vehicle identification number All 17 characters, copied from the title. | You (dealer) |
Seller's information and signature
The seller's block is your dealership: name (printed), street address, city, state, ZIP, then the signature and date. The form's opening paragraph is the warning: "Failure to complete or providing a false statement may result in fines and/or imprisonment." Under W.S. 31-2-110(b), a dealer who knowingly fails to disclose that a car is a nonrepairable, rebuilt salvage, or flood vehicle commits a misdemeanor, up to $750 and six months for a first offense. A dealer with a second conviction within two years can face an injunction barring sales for up to a year.

Seller's name (print) Your dealership's legal name. | You (dealer) |
Seller's street address, city, state, ZIP | You (dealer) |
Seller's signature and date Before the buyer signs the sales contract. | You (dealer) |
The buyer's acknowledgment
The buyer prints their name in "I, ____ (Name of Buyer) have been provided notice of the brand on the title of the above described vehicle," then fills in their address and signs and dates. This signature is the whole point of the form. W.S. 31-2-109(b) says the seller "shall require the buyer to sign the notification form prior to completing a sales transaction." Without it, the sale is voidable at the buyer's election, by written notice delivered within 30 days after the title is issued in the buyer's name. If there's evidence the seller knowingly hid the brand to defraud the buyer, the 30 days run from when the buyer first learns of the brand instead.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Buyer's name (print), in the acknowledgment line | Buyer |
Buyer's name, street address, city, state, ZIP | Buyer |
Buyer's signature and date Before the sale is completed, not at delivery afterward. | Buyer |
Where each copy goes
The MV-602 isn't a DMV filing. The white copy goes to the buyer and the yellow copy stays with you; the statute says "the seller shall retain a copy of the signed notification form." We found no stated retention period, so keep it with the deal jacket like the rest of the sale. The title application (MV-300A) asks its own question about whether the vehicle has or ever had a branded title, and that's where the county clerk sees the brand. Flood vehicles have one extra step: under W.S. 31-2-107(k), the seller gives the buyer written notice of flood status at or before the transfer, and the flood status is disclosed to the county clerk at the next title application, which brands the new title "flood."
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
White copy The buyer keeps it. | Buyer |
Yellow copy Stays in your deal file. | You (dealer) |
Before you retail it: the rebuilt salvage process
A car on a Wyoming salvage title gets restricted registration until it goes through the rebuild process. WYDOT's steps: get a Wyoming salvage title, then mail the MV-600 decal application to WYDOT with a copy of the salvage title and photos of the repaired car. The decal is free. Put the "rebuilt salvage vehicle" decal on the driver's door jamb before a Wyoming law-enforcement officer inspects the VIN ($10), then take the paperwork to the county clerk for a title branded "rebuilt" ($15). Out-of-state salvage titles have to get a Wyoming salvage title and the decal before registration. Hail or theft damage that's cosmetic only doesn't need the decal. The branding rules don't apply to cars with more than eight years of service, except that any brand a prior title from any state already carries is carried forward regardless of age.

Common MV-602 mistakes that cause rejections
The statute requires it "prior to completing a sales transaction." Have the buyer sign the MV-602 before the contract, and don't deliver the car without it.
Check the brand on the current title. A rebuilt car carries "rebuilt," which is the REBUILT SALVAGE box. Out-of-state wording like "reconstructed" goes in OTHER-LIST BRAND.
The eight-year cutoff doesn't erase a brand an earlier title already carried; those carry forward regardless of age. Run an NMVTIS report, because WYDOT brands from NMVTIS records even when the current title looks clean.
The law requires the seller to retain a signed copy. File the yellow copy (or a signed duplicate) in the deal jacket.
For a flood vehicle, the buyer gets written notice at or before the transfer, and the flood status goes to the county clerk with the next title application.
Common questions
What is the Wyoming MV-602 form?+
The MV-602 is WYDOT's Branded Title Disclosure Statement. A dealer or owner selling a vehicle with a branded title (salvage, rebuilt salvage, flood, non-repairable, or another brand) uses it to disclose the brand before the sale, and the buyer signs it to acknowledge the notice. It's a two-part form: the white copy goes to the buyer and the yellow copy stays with the seller.
Where do I get the MV-602?+
WYDOT's dealer page says Branded Title Disclosure Forms may be purchased from Motor Vehicle Services, 5300 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82009, (307) 777-4717. WYDOT also posts the form as a PDF, linked at the top of this guide. WYDOT doesn't say whether a printout satisfies the law's "form prescribed by the department," so call Motor Vehicle Services if you want the official sets.
What happens if the buyer doesn't sign the MV-602?+
Under W.S. 31-2-109(c), the sale becomes voidable at the buyer's election. The buyer has to deliver a written election to the seller no later than 30 days after the title is issued in the buyer's name. If there's evidence the seller knowingly hid the brand with intent to defraud, the 30 days run from when the buyer first learns about the brand.
Does the MV-602 get filed with the county clerk?+
No. The buyer keeps the white copy and the seller keeps the yellow copy. The MV-300A title application asks its own branded-title questions. The one exception is a flood vehicle: flood status is disclosed to the county clerk at the next title application, and the new title is branded "flood."
What makes a car a salvage vehicle in Wyoming?+
Under W.S. 31-2-106, a vehicle an insurance company declared a total loss, or, without an insurer, one whose estimated or actual parts-and-labor cost to rebuild exceeds 75% of its actual retail cash value. The owner gets a title branded "salvage," and the car needs the rebuilt-salvage decal, a law-enforcement inspection, and a title branded "rebuilt" before normal registration.
Do older cars need a branded title disclosure in Wyoming?+
Wyoming's damaged-vehicle branding rules don't apply to vehicles with more than eight years of service, but any brand from a prior title in any state is carried forward regardless of age. If the title carries a brand, disclose it on the MV-602 whatever the car's age.
Is there software that fills out the MV-602 automatically?+
Not this one. The Wyoming MV-602 is a two-part paper form that WYDOT sells to dealers, and its posted PDF has no fillable fields, so it's completed by hand and signed in ink. Dealer management software like DealerVLO handles the paperwork around it from the deal you already entered: the official Wyoming MV-300A title application, the Bill of Sale, the FTC Buyers Guide, and the odometer disclosure, so the MV-602 is the only page left to write. It's $29/month flat with a 14-day free trial.
