Fraud impacts every jurisdiction and functional area within the AAMVA community and AAMVA has played a significant role in helping members prevent, deter, and detect fraud. With the inception of the Fraud Detection & Remediation Program (FDR) and continuing through the recent Cyber Digital Fraud Working Group, AAMVA has been, and continues to be, a leader in providing training, developing best practices and supporting jurisdictions as they implement anti-fraud programs. As motor vehicle agency products and services continue to be targets for fraud, the AAMVA Board of Directors approved in 2025 the creation of the Fraud Subcommittee to address the ever-changing landscape of fraud and related criminal activity. This subcommittee is responsible for addressing “all-things” fraud related to motor vehicle agency operations and members have experience in investigating fraud, managing fraud programs, gathering fraud related intelligence, and analyzing data in search of fraud trends. Based on the subcommittee’s work, guidance to assist member jurisdictions are developed, published, and maintained.
