Internet Vehicle Sales Working Group Holds
Face-to-Face Meeting  The Internet
Vehicle Sales Working Group met in Phoenix, AZ, last week to continue to
develop best practices for regulating Internet vehicle sales and to provide
recommendations and educational materials to member jurisdictions to
help them identify, understand and combat fraud and deceptive practices. The
working group received valuable input and feedback on their draft best
practices from industry stakeholders, which the working group is currently
considering. The group also continued to gain a better understanding of new
business models used for selling vehicles by meeting with Carvana at one of
their "vending machines" where customers pick up vehicles they have
purchased online. The working group anticipates publishing the best
practices in Spring 2019.

Imported Vehicle Working Group Still Seeking
Member Do you have challenges with
titling and registration of vehicles that have been imported? AAMVA is
establishing a working group to develop guidance for jurisdictions on
vehicles that have been imported and are being presented for title and/or
registration. The working group will develop guidance for jurisdictions that
includes an explanation of federal laws for importing vehicles; the
federal approval process; and guidance for state responsibilities when
titling and registering imported vehicles. This working group will reference
the federal requirements and forms and consider what implications the states
will face as Custom and Border Patrol moves to an electronic format. This
working group is seeking subject matter experts from multiple disciplines.
The working group will be comprised of title and registration subject matter
experts, vehicle fraud investigators, information technology (IT) programmers
specialized in title and registration systems, and policy and legal
representatives. If you are interested in applying for the Imported Vehicle
Working Group, please complete
the application and return it to committees@aamva.org by November 30, 2018.
If you have questions about the working group, please contact Casey Garber, Manager, Vehicle Programs.

This Week's Webinars NMVTIS
State Web Interface (SWI) – How to Correct Title and Brand Data on the
Central Site Tuesday, November 20, 2018, 2:00
pm - 3:00 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.
