Any General Advice on Titling/ Registering HMMWV in Virginia

Post by jazz22611 » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:05 pm

A general question..

Does anyone have any advice on titling/ registering/ and tagging a HMMWV in Virginia.

I have a 1998 HMMWV V2 with a clean California title and bill of sale.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Regards,

Alan

Alan,

The best advice I can give you is to make sure that you have a clean paper trail all the way back to the point the military released it. A California title is nice but it's not a guarantee that the vehicle is clean. Whoever you got it from should have provided all of this to you when you bought it.

Most DMVs can smell a sham a mile away. Be honest and answer their questions to the best of you ability. Take every scrap of paper with you including any emails you had with the seller.

I have a reconstructed title-that is the easiest way to go in VA. You will get a new 7 digit VIN.

Well maybe....I just purchased a HMMWV after selling my Unimog 404. After spending some time on the DMV website I came across this:

Hopefully this helps others who are looking for a legal way to be able to use their HMMWV.
