This time of year, when tax refunds drive sales, NMVTIS Title Check reports from ADD can help dealers quickly evaluate vehicles and provide potential buyers with an official federal vehicle history report. Available in every ADD account and incorporating data from the federal National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS), the reports are designed to allow businesses and consumers the ability to verify a vehicle’s history prior to taking a trade in or making a purchase.

ADD is driven to offer innovative products and unmatched customer service at affordable costs to businesses, and we know every cent matters. That’s why, even though US Postal Service is raising postage rates for first class and certified mail, ADD is NOT increasing the cost of its industry-leading DirectPost-Office (DPO) service.

It seems hard to believe but National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) reporting will have been a federal requirement for salvage businesses for eight years in April of 2017. Millions of vehicles have been reported as salvage through auctions and other salvage businesses, and many states are now using NMVTIS as a reference to verify the salvage history of a vehicle before issuing a new title.
