Although every effort is made to insure the accuracy of transmission and data, the reports are provided "as is." Some States do not report to the ‘operator’. Records from participating states may be incomplete and there may be data from non-reporting states that is older or newer.

(i) some state data pertaining to a HIN may not be contained in or available through NMVTIS or other databases, (ii) some state and federal data is provided to the system via a daily, weekly, monthly or Yealy format and therefore may not be current, and (iii) some Reporting Entities having data pertaining to a HIN may have failed to provide such data for incorporation in NMVTIS. We cannot search data that is not yet available. The-Company assumes no responsibility for charges incurred, lost revenue, nor actual, compensatory, incidental, special or consequential damages of any kind in connection with the information supplied through this website. Without limitation of the foregoing, The-Company is not responsible for actual, compensatory, incidental, special or consequential damages of any kind due to errors in customer input, duplicate requests, errors in transmission, program or equipment failures, communication problems, process delays, or schedule changes.

CONSUMER ACCESS PRODUCT DISCLAIMER

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States. 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 accident repair or other history.

All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, 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 states report and update NMVTIS data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days.

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."

Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers may wish to obtain an independent vehicle inspection an NMVTIS Vehicle History Report (from an approved NMVTIS data provider – look for the NMVTIS logo), and consult other available vehicle information resources.

The information in NMVTIS INCLUDES:

Consumers are advised to visit www.vehiclehistory.gov for details 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.
