A plate does not need to be assigned to a vehicle to be transferred to a new vehicle. It only needs to be the correct plate type for — and owned by — the primary or secondary owner of the vehicle it’s being transferred to.

For an individual to show on the vehicle inquiry, a Wisconsin Driver License number, Social Security Number (SSN) or Name & Date of Birth (DOB) must be entered on the inquiry report.

If customer information does not display on the inquiry report after entering the individual owner, lessee or driver information, the vehicle is no longer associated with the individual owner, lessee, or driver.

Processing organizations should reach out to the customer for verification upon receiving the following error message: W108: Customer entered is not titled/registered to this vehicle.

WisDOT reports a rise in the number of standalone temporary plates being issued following a pending title/registration transaction. Providing a temporary plate after a transaction is put on hold, modifies the vehicle record and could hinder organizations from making updates, finalizing, or reinitiating the transaction.

• If an error was made on a Pended application or it cannot be completed electronically, the application should be reset prior to issuing a standalone temp plate.
• If a temporary license plate was issued with a Pended transaction, the temporary plate will remain valid after the title and registration application has been reset and can be reprinted.
• If you discover an error and cannot reset or delete the application, contact the WisDOT Agent Partnership Unit at (608) 266-3566 for assistance.

The Wisconsin DMV has begun an effort to remove duplicate and unnecessary records from their customer database. Due to the removal of these records, you may receive an error message if you try to use a record that has been removed. Below are three examples of the error messages that you may see:

1. REGM070E: DMVC NNDV HIST row not found
2. CMSM979E: ELGB TYPE was not found
3. ENVM320E: The Customer Non-Individual record was not found for the reset request. This is a system failure, not a processor error. Contact Systems Support.

To resolve the error, search for the leasing company/business via FEIN or business name and then choose a record from the results. It is recommended that you add this record to your favorites list and remove the previous record. This will prevent the issue the next time that leasing company/business is used.

The trade-in titling process can be a slog — no longer. With Accelerated Title^™ (AT) and National Title Exchange (NTX) working in unison, dealers cut weeks off of their trade-in titling process. Here’s how:

‍

Dealers who use Accelerated Title^™ see:

Dealer titles in days — meet NTX.

• Skip duplicate titles — With NTX, get a paper dealer title in 1 to 3 business days or less
• Be auction ready — Title in hand brings in an average of 10-20% more in wholesale profit per vehicle

The process is simple — Obtain chain of custody (with a Bill of Sale and Odometer Statement, for example, obtain a lien satisfaction if a lien is on the vehicle (or just pay it off with Accelerated Title^™), then simply sign, upload and submit docs. The process is easy and completely digital.

Level up your process.

Don’t let lien payoffs and title releases plus dealer titles get in the way of profit — move vehicles off your lot faster.
