The Anti-Car Theft Improvements Act (Act) of 1996 renamed the automobile network title system to the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).

is intended to assist titling agencies in efforts to prevent fraud prior to issuing motor vehicle and title information.

The purpose of NMVTIS is to:

a. assist in preventing stolen motor vehicles in interstate commerce;

b. protect states, individuals, and commercial consumers from fraud;

c. reduce the use of stolen motor vehicles for illicit purposes including fundraising for criminal enterprises; and

d. provide consumer protection from unsafe vehicles.

The Department will access NMVTIS through AAMVAnet network for verification of information on the title from the state that issued the title; along with information on brands applied to a motor vehicle, and information whether the motor vehicle has been stolen prior to issuing a title.

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service, or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

The Anti Car Theft Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-519) and Anti Car Theft Improvements Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-152) requires the establishment of a “National Motor Vehicle Title Information System” (NMVTIS) that is intended to enable states and others to access automobile titling information. States are required by 49 U.S.C. s. 30503(a) to make titling information they maintain available for use in NMVTIS and to perform an “instant” vehicle title check before issuing a title on a vehicle coming into Florida.

NMVTIS provides the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (Department) the mechanism to instantly check all state vehicle title record systems to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of title information and is the only vendor authorized to do so.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
