S2S, PDPS, and ACD: Preparing for Full Participation and What Comes Next
Full State-to-State Verification Service (S2S) participation is within reach — and the final steps matter. This session covers key preparations for a smooth transition, what’s next for Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) and S2S, updates on the Driver License Compact and Nonresident Violator Compact, and the ongoing challenges of managing out-of-state driver records.
Identity Establishment: From Verification to Trusted Credential
Trust in a credential starts with trust in the identity behind it. This session examines the full workflow — from initial identity establishment through issuance of both physical and digital credentials — and how jurisdictions can continue strengthening confidence at every step.
Employee Safety and Security Best Practices: A New Resource for MVA Leaders
Keeping MVA staff safe requires more than good intentions. In this session, AAMVA introduces its new comprehensive employee safety and security best practices document and walks leaders through how to apply it, so attendees leave with a concrete, ready-to-use resource for their agency.
Temporary Tags and License Plate Fraud: Emerging Trends and Strategies for Better Compliance
Temp tag misuse and license plate fraud are costing agencies, tolling authorities, and the public. This session addresses counterfeit and altered plates, verification gaps, and cross-jurisdiction enforcement challenges, with a close look at Texas’ innovative temp tag model and its National Motor Vehicle Information System (NMVTIS) pilot integration. Attendees explore emerging fraud trends, practical mitigation strategies, and AAMVA’s license plate verification program as tools for strengthening plate integrity across the system.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS
CDLIS Tools and Best Practices: Supporting Data Quality and CDL Compliance
Accurate driver records are fundamental to highway safety. This session examines the improved SPEXS Duplicate Resolution Tool — updated based on member feedback to handle large volumes more efficiently — and its role in supporting a smooth State-to-State (S2S) transition for states with large driver populations. It also highlights Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) and S2S reports and processes that keep driver history records accurate and reliable.
Vehicle Finance and Lien Fraud: Case Studies and Anti-Fraud Strategies Using Data Analytics
Vehicle finance and lien fraud is a billion-dollar problem — and data is one of the most powerful tools to fight it. This two-part session opens with a panel of investigators, lenders, auto dealers, attorneys, and DMV staff on how these schemes work, then shifts to how DMVs can use data analytics to uncover anomalies and patterns in transactions and staff behavior. Attendees leave understanding why analytical tools and intelligence analysts are essential investments for both DMV and law enforcement.
Designing for Everyone: Neurodiversity, Accessibility, and the MVA Customer
Meeting ADA requirements is the floor, not the ceiling. This session explores inclusive service design as the next frontier in MVA customer experience, examining how to move beyond baseline compliance to intentionally serve customers with cognitive, sensory, or anxiety-related differences. Attendees leave with practical, actionable steps to make every interaction more welcoming, clearer, and easier to navigate.
NMVTIS Program Update: Challenges, Risks, and Implementation Considerations
National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is only as strong as the data behind it. This session examines the most pressing challenges facing states today — data timeliness, participation gaps, evolving fraud risks, and the impact of modernization and e-titling initiatives — with practical considerations for strengthening implementation and consistency across jurisdictions.
