We’re proud to announce the latest addition to our DMV123 secure electronic access to real-time title and registration data. After many years of working with the Ohio BMV, ADD launched access to that much-requested state’s records in late March. The Ohio connection follows on the heels of launching District of Columbia records in late 2020. Access to records in any jurisdiction is based on that particular state’s permissible uses and our individual customers’ legal DPPA exemption for accessing data. When a new state becomes available, ADD automatically includes it in the DMV123 drop-down box inside each qualified customer’s account. That’s why we encourage our customers to check that drop-down box periodically to make sure you aren’t missing out on new, valuable access to these important records. So, go ahead and check that DMV123 drop-down box and see what surprises may be there to improve your daily business and regulatory transactions.

Our shows and events are off to a slower than usual start. We hope that summer brings a busier, but still safe, show season.

Our 2021 tradeshow season is off to a good start. ADD is working hard to stay safe by following proper handwashing, mask-wearing, and social distancing protocols. The spring trade shows include some in-person events alongside some virtual events! Auto Data Direct wants to help keep your calendars up to date with these upcoming tradeshows and events:

It’s the season for surprises and ADD has a few up our sleeve for our valued customers. If your business depends on our DMV123 real-time owner/lienholder data to get transactions completed, your job just got easier! We’re happy to announce access to records is expanding! We are continuously looking for ways to expand access in states we already work with. All states have specific requirements about which industry group can access its records based on its rules and regulations. Our team works hard to ensure that, if there is an opportunity to expand to new groups, we take advantage on behalf of ADD account holders. Recently we have been able to receive additional access in Massachusetts for tow/wrecker operators. In Illinois, automobile dealers and finance companies, along with insurers, are now allowed to access those records.

This has been an extraordinary year, presenting challenges that have truly tested our businesses. At ADD, we are very grateful that we have been able to continue our services, uninterrupted, throughout these trying times. We appreciate the confidence our customers have placed in our team and the unique services we offer.

If you love your ADD team and the effective tools offered to your business through your account, you can help us brag! Leave us a review on Google, our Facebook page, or within your ADD Account Management tools where you’ll see “Review ADD.” We know that our customers are our best asset, and you know the system and the advantages it gives your business. And remember, “It ain’t bragging if it’s true!”
