DMV123, ADD’s real-time portal to 28 state DMVs, is changing the way ADD customers do business. DMV123 is designed to offer a single-source portal to vehicle, owner and lienholder information. For businesses that need this kind of information to operate, from dealers to financial institutions, insurers to towing companies, auto recyclers and others, DMV123 is a one-stop solution that can streamline business processes and help keep costs low.

ADD currently offers real-time DMV records in 28 states, with even more in development. What’s so important about DMV123 is that the web-based search provides real-time records – which are important to businesses that depend on accurate information to complete their federal and state-mandated processes. Real-time data is “fresh” – it is exactly what is in the state database at the moment the record is pulled. Some data providers will buy an entire state database in one big chunk– but the problem is, they only update it with new information once a month or so. That’s “stale” data, meaning the information might have changed since that provider bought the records, and it might not be correct when you make the inquiry.

Real-time records let you know that the info is timely and accurate when you pull the record. Knowing who legally owns or has interest in a vehicle goes a long way toward avoiding delays, saving legal expenses and preventing fraud.

Included information varies slightly by state, but motor vehicle records contain, when available, the owner’s name and address, lienholder name and address, registrant and registration information, as well as vehicle data such as make, model, year, tag and title number. If you’re not sure where to begin your search, ADD’s National Title Pointer can use a VIN to help you find the state of jurisdiction, then link you to that state to access the owner/lienholder record.

ADD is constantly working to provide you with even more access to records when you need them, 24/7! Want access to DMV123? Email ADD, or call one of our helpful customer service representatives at 850-877-8804.
