24. NMVTIS Consumer Access Disclaimer REVISED: April 2015
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the
United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and
brand
history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history.
All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS
does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because
some states
are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames;
while some states report and update NMVTIS data in “real-time” (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once
every 24 hours or within a period of days.
Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or
other appropriate entity) to be a “total loss” or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a
“total loss” even if the vehicle's titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be “salvage” or “junk.”
A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers are
strongly encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage. The
Approved NMVTIS Data Providers
(look for the NMVTIS logo) can include vehicle condition data from sources other than NMVTIS.
NMVTIS data INCLUDES (as available by those entities required to report to the System):
Information from
participating
state motor vehicle titling agencies.
-
Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include
commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state's primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed
by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
-
Information on “brands” applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by
state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
- Most recent odometer reading in the state's title record.
-
Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, that is required by law to be reported to the system,
beginning March 31, 2009. This information will include if the vehicle was determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance carrier.
-
Information from junk and salvage yards receiving a “cash for clunker” vehicle traded-in under the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of
2009 (CARS) Program.

state motor vehicle titling agencies.
