The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is a federal system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the U.S. NMVTIS is intended to provide a reliable source of automobile information for all consumers, in an effort to prevent fraud and theft.

All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required regularly to report information to NMVTIS. NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some report and update NMVTIS data in “real-time” (as title transactions occur), others send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle’s repair history.

The information in NMVTIS INCLUDES:

Information from participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state’s primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
Information on “brands” applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
Most recent odometer reading in the state’s title record.
Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, which, since March 31, 2009 is required by law to be reported to the system, this information includes if the vehicle was determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance carrier.

Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a “total loss” or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a “total loss” even if the vehicle’s titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be “salvage” or “junk.”

Further information on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies is available at http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_states.html
