It’s a hard fact that if your dealer master plate registration expires, you will be unable to process EVR transactions. To help you stay on top of the timing, the schedule below applies to license plates and decals for dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and transporters.

Expiration — Expiration dates are determined by the first letter of your business name and will expire at the end of the month according to the schedule above. 

Registration Period — Tags may be renewed up to 30 days prior to expiration date. If you register after the end of your registration period, you will be charged a 25% penalty of $15.50 on the master license plate only.

Title and registration can be complicated, whether it’s titling and registering a vehicle for an out-of-state customer, obtaining a trade-in’s title, or titling an acquired vehicle in your dealership’s name. Did you know, beyond in-state Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR), Vitu offers a suite of core solutions to help you easily navigate all this and more, removing the barriers so deals get done fast?

50-State Title and Registration with Vitu Interstate

Out-of-state buyers are nothing new. But as you’ve probably experienced, out-of-state transactions can introduce frustrations and roadblocks once the paperwork begins. Different states have different rules. Titling and registration forms vary by state. Fee structures change. Suddenly, the deal becomes complicated, and the easiest path forward can feel like hoping the buyer pays cash or it’s a title-only transaction.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Vitu Interstate 50-State title and reg helps dealerships handle out-of-state deals for all fifty states with clarity and confidence. 

Instead of navigating unfamiliar requirements and forms or worrying about getting the fees right, Vitu Interstate has:

• Accurate fee estimates
• Dynamic state-specific document lists
• Two-level review process for accuracy
• Deal tracking

And much more. This means you no longer need to rely on workarounds like hoping for a cash buyer or a title-only transaction. Instead, you can confidently complete the deal while keeping the process smooth for both the dealership and your customer.

Expedited payoff and title release with Vitu Accelerated Title™

Have you ever requested a payoff quote from a lender, mailed a check, and then found the payoff amount had changed by the time the check was received? Instead of getting your title, you’re left waiting — only to eventually discover the payoff was short. Now you need to issue another check, send it overnight, and wait all over again.

After dealing with this more than once, maybe you start adding an extra $100 or more to every payoff just to be safe — without knowing when (or if) the title will arrive.

Vitu Accelerated Title™ eliminates this guesswork and manual effort. By digitizing payoffs, it removes the need for paper checks, reduces payoff uncertainty, and gives you greater visibility into the process. It also speeds up lien release and title delivery — cutting time to title by up to 80%.

The result? Lower holding costs, faster inventory turns, and increased profitability by doing what dealerships do best — selling faster.
