Driver Records and Reciprocity
With State-to-State (S2S) now in 44 jurisdictions, with four more scheduled in 2026, and the Driver License Compact (DLC) now integrated into S2S, much progress has been made. However, with recent concerns regarding CDL information, new laws that state one state may choose not to recognize another jurisdiction’s valid product and new restrictions being imposed on licenses, this session will take a deeper dive into these issues and more!
Electronic Titling: Advancing Efficiency Through Collaboration and Interoperability

Attendees will gain an overview of the electronic titling ecosystem and current solutions, hear updates on the AAMVA Private Party Vehicle Sale initiative and other interstate efforts, explore AAMVA resources and toolkits to support implementation, and learn from real-world experiences on overcoming challenges and building scalable, interoperable programs.
