Understanding the ICBC Form MV1426E: Adding a Related Individual as Owner to a Modified Collector Motor Vehicle

The ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) form MV1426E is a specific application used by vehicle owners to add a related individual as an owner to a modified collector motor vehicle. This process is essential for owners who wish to include a family member or other related person in the vehicle's registered ownership, under the rules of the Collector Vehicle Program.

Purpose of the Form

The primary objective of this form is to formalize the addition of a related individual—such as a spouse, child, grandchild, or sibling—to the ownership of a collector vehicle that has been modified and approved under ICBC's Collector Vehicle Program. Only the initial approved owner of the vehicle can submit this application, making it a crucial document for maintaining legal ownership records and ensuring compliance with ICBC regulations.

Preparing Your Application

Before filling out the form, gather all necessary vehicle and personal information. This includes:

• Vehicle registration number, make, model, year, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
• Details confirming the vehicle’s condition and that it meets all collector vehicle standards
• Personal details of both the current owner and the individual to be added, including full name, address, contact information, and email address
• Information about your Autoplan broker for insurance purposes

Ensure that the vehicle complies with ICBC's condition requirements, such as being in excellent exterior and interior condition, with proper repairs, and used solely for pleasure purposes—never for business or commuting.

Filling Out the Form

The form is divided into several sections:

Step 1: Vehicle Details

Provide the registration number, model year, make, model, body style, and VIN. Confirm that the vehicle continues to meet all collector vehicle standards.

Step 2: Vehicle Condition and Use Declaration

Check boxes to affirm that the vehicle is in excellent condition, has no damage or rust, and is used only for pleasure purposes. This declaration is critical to maintaining the vehicle’s collector status.

Step 3: Personal Information of Current and New Owner

Enter the full name, address, contact number, and email of both the current registered owner and the individual to be added. Each individual must complete a separate form if multiple owners are to be added.

Step 4: Broker Information

Provide details of your Autoplan broker, including broker ID, business name, contact person, and phone number. This ensures proper processing of your insurance and registration.

Step 5: Declaration and Signature

The applicant must declare residency in British Columbia, confirm the vehicle’s condition, and affirm that it will be used solely for pleasure. The declaration also confirms that the vehicle is registered as a model year 1974 or earlier, maintaining the collector vehicle classification.

Submission and Processing

Completed applications should be submitted to the Collector Vehicles department at:

Collector Vehicles Room 235 – 151 W. Esplanade North Vancouver, BC V7M 3H9 Telephone: 604-661-2756 Toll-Free: 1-844-904-8213 Email: [email protected]

After submission, ICBC will review your application. If approved, new license plates will be issued and sent to your designated broker. Processing times typically depend on the completeness of your application and ICBC's workload.

Fees and Additional Considerations

Adding a related individual may involve fees, such as a new plate fee and possibly transfer or cancellation fees if applicable. If multiple owners are added simultaneously, these fees will apply collectively to the transaction rather than per individual.

Important Notes

• Only the initial approved owner can add related individuals; subsequent modifications require re-application.
• Any other changes to the vehicle, such as modifications or repairs, may require re-application to the Collector Program.
• Maintaining the vehicle’s condition and use restrictions is essential to retain collector status and benefits.

This form ensures that the ownership records are accurate and compliant with ICBC regulations, helping to preserve the vehicle's collector classification and associated privileges.
