Re-Register a Salvaged Vehicle in Maryland You can still re-register your car if it survives an accident or even flood damages. As long as it is okay with your insurance company, the repaired car will often be marked as a salvaged vehicle. For salvaged vehicles, the registration process will require you to have a certificate of salvage. The MVA will not register your car unless it undergoes a satisfactory inspection to establish its state. You can get a salvaged vehicle inspection at any authorized car dealer in Maryland. Transfer a Vehicle Between Family Members When transferring your vehicle's ownership to your family member, you will not have to pay any excise tax.

Note that you can register the car afresh to the new owner as soon as you hand in the documents relinquishing your ownership. In this case, you may then follow the proper registration steps by paying the registration and license fees.
