Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced today that its vehicle title history and brand information is now available to consumers through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). The database greatly improves the tracking of vehicles across state lines for law enforcement and motor vehicle agencies. It also allows consumers to learn about the history of a vehicle prior to making a purchase.
DMV Director George Valverde said California is supportive of NMVTIS, and sees it as another valuable tool for consumer protection. “We are delighted that prospective purchasers of vehicles can now access title and brand information on the millions of updated vehicle records California provides to the NMVTIS database.”
California is one of 31 states now participating in NMVTIS, which was established by federal law in 1992 as a major tool to combat rampant nationwide vehicle theft and fraud. According to statistics released earlier this year, 1.3 million vehicles are stolen in the 50 states each year, with losses to consumers totaling more than $8 billion. NMVTIS records are available at http://www.vehiclehistory.gov by providing a vehicle identification number and paying a nominal fee.
NMVTIS is operated on behalf of the U.S. Dept. of Justice by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). Several entities are required to regularly report information to NMVTIS, including: State motor vehicle agencies; Insurance carriers (including some self-insuring entities); and, auto recyclers and salvage yards.

car dealers: good car dealer education will prepare you for a surprise visit from the dmv police 1 comment
our car dealer pre-licensing class
recently held at a local car dealership
was surprised by a visit from the dmv police
four plainclothes dmv investigators in black unmarked chrysler 300′s
arrived at this local dealership for what they described as a ” dmv spot check ”
they explained this unannounced visit to the dealership by dmv investigations staff
was part of a dmv effort to ensure compliance by local dealers to existing dmv regulations
the dmv police fanned out and inspected all of the vehicles at this small dealership
the dmv police inspected the entire location & the sales office
the dmv police requested access to the secured deal jackets in the owners office
the owner of the dealership was not present at the time of this ” dmv spot check ”
these dmv police are part of a team of 230 dmv investigation staff throughout california
they were courteous & professional, knowledgeable & willing to listen to my questions
we discussed:
the differences between dmv investigations & dmv inspectors
the buyer’s guide posting requirements from the FTC
the signage requirements and our three gotplates.com dealer office signs
the red flag rules for car dealers offering credit to buyers
the recent dmv red flags memo directing dealers to become red flag compliant
the need for posted business hours at each retail location
the car buyer bill of rights provisions
our pre-licensing dealer class was actually enhanced by this ” dmv spot check ”
the dmv police visit placed emphasis on the retail car dealer rules and the importance
of each car dealer to keep the office in order, signs posted as required & dmv paperwork secured
this local car dealership did well with its ” dmv spot check ” by dmv investigations
good dealer education is the crux of dmv rules compliance
comprehensive training and an understanding of the dmv rulebook
as it pertains to your car dealership is what we are all about
+++
our conclusion:
the ” dmv spot check ” by the dmv police for dmv rules compliance is a great idea
keep your dealership in good working order with our certified dmv dealer education

dmv announces new standards for holding a dismantlers license 1 comment
Occupational Licensing Industry News OLIN 2009–18
Dismantler Licensing Requirements
New Legislation
Legislation effective January 1, 2010, requires the department to ensure persons applying for an auto dismantler license in California meet environmental protection and tax payment requirements.
Procedures
Applicants applying for an original auto dismantler’s license must include the following information with their application, if required by law:
•
Board of Equalization resale permit number
•
Franchise Tax Board tax identification number
•
California Environmental Protection Agency identification number
•
Storm water permit number
•
Hazardous materials business plan
NOTE: Beginning on January 1, 2011, the above requirements will also apply to dismantler renewal applications.
Background
Dismantlers store vehicles with potentially hazardous materials. This bill will increase the department’s licensing authority to confirm an applicant complies with California environmental protection requirements and tax obligations.
Distribution
Notification that this memo is available online at
dmv.ca.gov/pubs/olin/olin.htm
was made via E-mail Alert Service in November 2009 to dismantlers.
Contact
Questions regarding this memo may be directed to the Occupational Licensing Operations Unit at (916) 229-3126.
