Overview of NMVTIS Dealer Laws Across the U.S.
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is a federal vehicle history program, but each state determines how dealers and DMVs must use it. This map summarizes which states have explicit NMVTIS dealer laws, which integrate NMVTIS data through DMVs, and which are considering new compliance measures.
