Virginia note: If you are using Virginia's $40 AVP program at dmv.virginia.gov, the DMV sends the official notice automatically — you do not need to send this letter separately. This template is most useful in states without a DMV-initiated notification program. You may still wish to send this as a supplemental notice while the AVP process runs.
Important: This template is a general starting point. State laws vary. Some states require specific statutory language in abandonment notices — consult your state's DMV website or a local attorney to verify the required language for your jurisdiction before sending. Send via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested (PS Form 3811). Keep the green card as proof of delivery. Not legal advice.
