This Week's Webinar

NMVTIS State Web Interface (SWI) – How to Correct Title and Brand Data on the Central Site
July 16, 2019, 2-3 PM (ET)
In the past, states contacted the AAMVA Help Desk directly if they needed to make a data correction. As part of the NMVTIS reengineering effort, a Help Desk feature was created to allow states to correct their title and brand data on the central site. When states perform their own data corrections the timeliness and accuracy of the data corrections improves substantially. This webinar is focused on explaining the capability of the Help Desk feature as included in the SWI. Data correction scenarios are explained and matched to the correct update operation within the SWI. A brief overview of the SWI application will also be provided.  

Note: This webinar is for AAMVA jurisdiction and federal members only.
