Are you buying, selling, or rebuilding a vehicle in Oregon? Understanding title brands is essential<\/em>\u2014and we\u2019re here to help you stay informed, protected, and confident every step of the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude98 What Is a Title Brand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A title brand<\/strong> is a permanent label on a vehicle\u2019s Oregon title that tells you something important about its past\u2014like whether it\u2019s been declared totaled<\/strong>, flood-damaged<\/strong>, reconstructed<\/strong>, or even a Lemon Law Buyback<\/strong>. In some cases, your vehicle might be titled as “assembled”<\/strong>, meaning it’s made from parts of other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccb When Does DMV Issue a Title Brand?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

DMV issues a branded title when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The vehicle is marked as damaged or branded in other states or in the national database (NMVTIS).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It\u2019s been reported as a Lemon Law Buyback<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It\u2019s assembled, reconstructed, a replica, or previously totaled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sufficient information shows the vehicle\u2019s history warrants a brand\u2014even if it wasn\u2019t previously listed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Once branded, a title usually stays branded<\/em> \u2014 and will appear on all future Oregon titles for that vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udd01 Can a Title Brand Be Changed or Removed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, but only in specific cases<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • If DMV placed a brand in error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A vehicle is reported as totaled due to theft<\/em> but is later recovered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A new qualifying event requires DMV to update or add<\/em> brands (e.g., from \u201cflood\u201d to \u201ctotaled-reconstructed\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
