Region 4 Conference: Charity & Silent Auction
AAMVA has established a legacy of
leaving the communities we visit with a donation to help in charitable works.
This year, at the Region
4 Conference, we are hosting a Silent Auction in conjunction with the
President's Reception on Thursday, July 12. The recipient of our fundraising efforts will be the Montana
Hope Project,
which grants wishes for Montana children living with critical illnesses.
It began in 1984 when a handful of Montana Highway Patrol Officers reached out
to a couple of kids with life-threatening illnesses. Today, the Montana Hope
Project is a separate, non-profit organization funded by tax-deductible
charitable contributions.

This Week's Webinars
NMVTIS State Web Interface (SWI) – Instant Title Verification Using the VIN Search Feature
Tuesday, June 26, 2018, 2:00 - 3:00 pm (ET)
Before a jurisdiction issues a title or other ownership document or record, the SWI can provide information to help the jurisdiction determine whether the ownership documentation presented with the application are valid. The information supports jurisdictions' titling processes for both new and used vehicles. The Anti-Car Theft Act requires each jurisdiction to perform an instant title verification check before issuing a title to an applicant claiming to have purchased the vehicle from an individual or entity in another jurisdiction. The SWI VIN search feature can be used to satisfy this legal requirement. In addition, the NMVTIS best practice is that jurisdictions perform an inquiry before issuing a title or other ownership document or record, whether or not the applicant claims to have purchased the vehicle in another jurisdiction.
