Driver Records and Reciprocity
With State-to-State (S2S) now in 44 jurisdictions, with four more scheduled in 2026, and the Driver License Compact (DLC) now integrated into S2S, much progress has been made. However, with recent concerns regarding CDL information, new laws that state one state may choose not to recognize another jurisdiction’s valid product and new restrictions being imposed on licenses, this session will take a deeper dive into these issues and more!
Electronic Titling: Advancing Efficiency Through Collaboration and Interoperability
Electronic titling is transforming vehicle title management - delivering secure, efficient processes that reduce fraud and improve customer experience within and across jurisdictions.

- Learn about the key areas of the electronic titling ecosystem and available solutions.
- Hear an update on the AAMVA Private Party Vehicle Sale solution and other interstate electronic titling initiatives.
- Discover resources and toolkits available from AAMVA to support implementation or enhancement of electronic titling solutions.
- Hear real-world experiences from motor vehicle agencies and industry partners on overcoming challenges, lessons learned, and building scalable, interoperable programs.
Join us to help shape the next phase of vehicle titling - creating solutions that deliver measurable benefits in efficiency, security, and customer satisfaction.
