The information regarding vehicle brands from other jurisdictions can significantly impact the registration process in Ontario, particularly in terms of how vehicles are classified and treated. When a vehicle has a brand from another jurisdiction, this information is typically carried forward and noted on the Ontario registration records. This means that if a vehicle is branded as salvage, rebuilt, or any other type of brand in a different province or state, it will retain that designation when registered in Ontario, with the exception of the 'rebuilt' brand.

The 'rebuilt' brand is unique because Ontario has its own criteria and processes for deeming a vehicle as rebuilt. Thus, while most other brands are transferred and influence the vehicle's registration status, the 'rebuilt' status is evaluated independently within Ontario’s regulatory framework. Understanding this process is crucial for individuals involved in vehicle transactions, as it directly affects the vehicle's marketability, insurability, and overall value when registered in Ontario.
