Bulk Data Program

The Bulk Data Program allows Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) permitted users to purchase RMV data in the form of a bulk file. 

There are four types of bulk data files available to purchase: 

• The Driver License Files includes data pertaining to the licensee, license class and issue & expiration date. 

• The Vehicle Registration Files includes data pertaining to the registration, vehicle, title, and owner. 

• The Lienholder file includes lienholder name, address, lien code, and lien count. 

• The Crash Files includes data pertaining to the accident location, vehicles involved, and severity of injuries. 

Bulk Data files are available either on a one time, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. 

To participate in the Bulk Data Program the RMV requires that all RMV Business Partners sign an Agreement for Access to Records and Data Maintained by the Registry of Motor Vehicles (“Access Agreement”) along with additional required documentation for this program. 

Bulk Data is only available to RMV permitted users. Refer to Section 1 of the Agreement for Access to Records and Data Maintained by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. 

RMV data contains Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) protected information, so your business must have a DPPA permitted use to access RMV data.  Your employees, contractors, and/or agents are required to have a background check before they can access RMV data, refer to Section 11 of the Access Agreement.  

There is a $7,500 fee for each file requested. A monthly invoice will be available to view and pay via the eServices Portal using either a credit card or eCheck.

Each user that would like access to the eService Portal must complete an eService Administrator – Invoicing Only Request Form and must have signed an Access Agreement, refer to the eServices section.
