Each Jurisdiction will need to implement a strategy to retire paper titles and manual vehicle record management processes. AAMVA has developed a scorecard to help jurisdictions evaluate their current state and develop a plan for moving forward.Electronic Titling and Vehicle Records Management requires that each jurisdiction implement a range of capabilities within their jurisdiction to participate in a national interoperable electronic titling program. Each of these capabilities can be partially implemented as a starting point but will need to be completely implemented to achieve full electronic titling capabilities and to allow for interstate interoperable transfer of vehicle ownership.
In each area, jurisdictions must assess and address their capabilities. The following is an introduction to expectations in each area.

Electronic Dealer Transfers
AAMVA’s goal is to support an interoperable process for electronic dealer title transactions and reassignment of dealer ownership that does not occur on paper and takes place within the standard motor vehicle agency system. Jurisdictions should consider:
- Plan for eliminating paper dealer reassignments
- Assessment of legislation and regulations regarding electronic dealer wholesale titles that may be transacted within the standard motor vehicle agency system
