National Motor Vehicle Title Information :

“How much will it cost to obtain NMVTIS information on a vehicle?
Cost for NVMTIS vehicle history reports vary and are determined by individual service providers. The Anti-Car Theft Act requires that the system be funded through user fees and not dependent on federal funds. For this reason, NMVTIS has been designed as a fee-for-service system. Current fees range from approximately $2 to $4 per report.

What kind of information will I receive in a NVMTIS vehicle history report?
NMVTIS records provide:

• current and previous state of title data
• title issue date
• latest odometer data
• theft history data (if any)
• any brand assigned to a vehicle and date applied
• salvage history, including designations as a "total loss” (if any)

Read the NMVTIS Consumer Access Product Disclaimer, which describes what is and is not included in NMVTIS reports.

What types of vehicles are included in NMVTIS?
NMVTIS includes 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 agency), although these records may be added at a later time.

How current is the information in NMVTIS?
Currently the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some report and update NVMTIS 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….“

Before buying your next used vehicle, you may consider this option to determine if the vehicle was ever stolen and recovered, or salvaged for a minimal cost of only $4.00
