Grant Description: The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) was created under the Anti-Car Theft Improvement Act of 1996, 49 U.S.C. 30501, to deter trafficking in stolen vehicles by strengthening law enforcement against auto theft (Title I), combating automobile title fraud (Title II), preventing "chop shop"-related thefts (Title III), and inspecting exports for stolen vehicles (Title IV). NMVTIS was designed to allow the titling agency to instantly and reliably verify the information on the paper title with the electronic data from the state that issued the title. In addition, the system provides law enforcement with a tool to assist in reducing auto theft and vehicle title-related crimes. Where implemented, NMVTIS has already produced results, including time and cost savings, reductions in consumer wait time, decreases in motor vehicle thefts, improved recovery rate of stolen vehicles, increased ability to identify cloned vehicles prior to title issuance, and improved investigative abilities. The Act further specifies that the information within NMVTIS shall be available to jurisdictions; federal, state, and local law enforcement officials; insurance carriers; and other prospective purchasers (e.g., individuals, auction companies, and used car dealers). The goal of this initiative is to increase the number of states currently providing data to NMVTIS and to begin planning for future, fully online connectivity where data is shared real-time and instant title checks occur before a title is issued.
