Once you complete the out-of-state record request, print the MSL receipt. You may
present it to the other state as proof that Virginia owners and lienholders were
sent certified mail notification by Virginia DMV.
Virginia DMV cannot guarantee that a Virginia owner and/or lienholder exists on
record for the VIN entered. When no Virginia owner and/or lienholder is found, you
will receive a “No Virginia Record Found” receipt verifying that the search in DMV
records for the VIN entered resulted in no owners and/or lienholders.
Additionally, Virginia DMV does not guarantee that the Out-of-State MSL receipt
will be acceptable proof of compliance with Mechanics and Storage Lien laws in the state
in which you are processing the Mechanics and Storage Lien. Please check the Mechanics and Storage Lien
laws in your state.
