NMVTIS Consumer Access

What is NMVTIS Consumer Access?

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an online system used to verify and exchange vehicle history data (such as titling, brand, and theft information) among DMVs, law enforcement, prospective purchasers, and insurance carriers. State titling agencies use NMVTIS to check if the vehicle has been reported stolen, or if it has been identified as a "junk" or "salvage" vehicle.

Background information about NMVTIS is available on the U.S. Department of Justice’s NMVTIS Web site at www.NMVTIS.gov

NMVTIS Consumer Access is available through a series of public access portals that allow members of the public to query NMVTIS for basic vehicle title information including brands and odometer readings, prior to purchasing the vehicle. This allows the consumer to make a better-informed purchase.
