16 years and lots of litigation later, DOJ puts auto fraud database online
February 5, 2009
After 16 years and litigation by three consumer safety groups, the U.S. Department of Justice has made an online database available to states and consumers to discover automobile fraud and to provide new tools for law enforcement to investigate fraud, theft and other crimes involving vehicles.
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) was made available for consumers on Jan. 30 and is accessible through third-party, fee-for-service Web sites. The Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance administers NMVTIS in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The system allows state motor vehicle administrators to verify and exchange titling and brand data and provides law enforcement officials, consumers and others with critical information regarding vehicle histories. Consumers now have access to the vehicle’s brand history, odometer data and basic vehicle information and can be redirected to the current state of record to access the full title record if available. Law enforcement can track the vehicle’s status from state to state by accessing the system directly.
