AAMVA provides guidelines for recommended security features for the MCO or MSO. These guidelines are found in the AAMVA policy position Appendix B.
AAMVA DOES NOT issue MCO/MSO’s for vehicles already manufactured. Once a vehicle has been issued a state or jurisdiction title, the MCO/MSO is no longer available.
AAMVA DOES NOT sell or provide blank MCO/MSO’s for those wanting to become vehicle manufacturer’s.
For information about becoming a vehicle manufacturer and having the ability to assign VINs, NHTSA’s Product Information Catalog and Vehicle Listing group (vPIC) provides a reference guide located here. The site has a link to NHTSA’s handbook for new manufacturers, as well as links to the individual regulations for equipment standards and procedural submissions.
For additional information from NHTSA, see below:
