National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS)

NMVTIS is designed to protect consumers from fraud and unsafe vehicles and to keep stolen vehicles from being resold.

NMVTIS is a system that allows Massachusetts RMV to instantly and reliably verify the information on the paper title with the electronic data from the state that issued the title. NMVTIS is also a tool that assists states and law enforcement in deterring and preventing title fraud and other crimes. Consumers can use NMVTIS to access important vehicle history information.

  • Prevent the introduction or reintroduction of stolen motor vehicles into interstate commerce
  • Protect states and consumers (individual and commercial) from fraud
  • Reduce the use of stolen vehicles for illicit purposes including funding of criminal enterprises
  • Provide consumers protection from unsafe vehicles

Check NMVTIS Before You Buy!

The "Check NMVTIS Before You Buy!" brochure and video were developed to:

  • Raise awareness to anyone thinking about buying a used vehicle that purchasing a NMVTIS Vehicle History Report may protect consumers from vehicle fraud and unsafe vehicles, and
  • Remind the consumer that state agencies also use NMVTIS information as part of their vehicle titling process, and why not check the same system state agencies use?
