                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

VEHICLES REGISTERED TO ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL (§ 46.2-1200.2)

Whenever a vehicle is shown by the Department records to be owned by a person
who has indicated that he is on active military duty or service, the Department
shall include such information in response to requests for vehicle information
pursuant to the requirements of this chapter.
		Notwithstanding any provisions of this chapter, any person disposing of a
vehicle under the provisions of this chapter shall determine whether the
provisions of the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C. § 3901 et
seq.) (the Act) apply to the circumstances of such disposition. The presence on
a vehicle record of an indicator that the owner is on active military duty or
service shall be an indication that the Act may apply. However, should the
person determine that the Act applies, the indicator on the vehicle record shall
not satisfy any obligation under the Act to ascertain the owner&#8217;s military
status, nor shall the absence of an indicator suffice to establish that the
owner is not on active military duty or service.
