For an existing Pennsylvania title record, you are not able to change the body type during online processing. Records that require a change in the body type such as TRL (a trailer) being changed to RECT (a recreational trailer) or RCCT (a recreational cargo trailer) need to be submitted to PennDOT for processing.

Please be sure to submit an MV-41 or MV-1R along with transactions that require a change of body type.

Effective June 1, 2025, PennDOT will no longer collect sales tax for salvage certificate transactions. To view the full PennDOT announcement, simply click the link below.

Pennsylvania is introducing a new style of registration plate. Please refer to the attached bulletin for more information on the new Let Freedom Ring registration plate.

We’re sharing a reminder that PennDOT's CPI fee increases go into effect in July. Please refer to the attached MV-70S for a full list and breakdown of applicable state fees.

Problem Reports — you love them because Vitu easily takes care of your issue. But missing a requirement could result in the correction not being handled within the tanking period — and you’d end up having to deal with PennDOT directly to handle the correction and pay any applicable fees.

New Problem Report Success Checklist plus details

To help save you time and effort, we’ve put together a checklist for more successful Problem Reports, covering these requirements to help you ensure your Problem Report is received and taken care of within the tanking period. In addition, on the back are more details about Problem Reports that you can easily refer to when needed. Go ahead and click below to take a look:

Checklist overview

Let’s take a look at the questions asked on the front page of the checklist, all designed to help you pinpoint some of the most common errors we see:

  • Is the Problem Report filled out completely?
    • Are ALL required fields filled out at the top?
    • Is ALL information required for that type of correction included?
    • Is what you are asking PennDOT to correct clearly listed? 
  • Are ALL required supporting documents included with the Problem Report?
  • Has the Problem Report been properly emailed or faxed to Vitu?
  • If you emailed the Problem Report, did you receive a reply, confirming receipt?
  • Is any Problem Report check for additional fees due mailed properly?
    • Is the Problem Report check placed in a separate envelope
    • Is the envelope marked Attention: Operations?
    • Is that Problem Report deal’s WID number on the check?
    • Is the check submitted within a week of the original Problem Report’s submission?

On the back of the checklist, you’ll find more helpful details for Problem Reports such as the tanking period, the submission deadline and a list of the required documents that must be sent in with a Problem Report for all title deals along with their applicable supporting documentation. We even include tips on upping the purchase price and in-transit deals.

Updated Problem Report 

You’ll also notice we added a few new red asterisks to help you remember to fill out mandatory information in the Problem Report form itself. To access the new version, please click below.

Per our PennDOT contract, we are now required to train all new employees and users who will be processing transactions through Vitu. Whenever you’d like to add a new user, we need you to send the following list of documents for the new employee before this training can be scheduled.

Required documents

  • MV-73B (Messenger and/or Agent Service Employee Report for PennDOT)
  • MV-751 (Online Program Inquiry Information Confidentiality Policy)
  • Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History Report 
  • A Screenshot of the user listed on the DAS system OR an email from PennDOT stating the employee is added

Once these documents are received in our office, the employee(s) will be added to Vitu and the training will be scheduled with you.

Note: New employee(s) will NOT have access to Vitu before the training is completed.
