What are the benefits of using the online system for accessing vehicle and marinecraft records?
• Dealers will be able to quickly determine who the last titled owners are for vehicles and marinecraft traded in to their dealership and whether there are any outstanding liens. • Lienholders will be able to verify that their lien has been properly recorded on the title since the titles are mailed to the owner in most cases. • Users have ready access to the information needed to apply for a duplicate title. • Users who currently obtain their record searches via telephone will reduce their costs in phone bills. • Towers can expedite the abandoned vehicle titling process by obtaining owner and lienholder information on vehicles towed online instead of waiting for law enforcement to notify the department to provide the tower with this information in writing. • Attorneys can expedite their research of vehicle/marine craft owners/lienholders for pending legal matters. • Accounting records are automated with regards to records accessed and fees charged.
