SVRS is a free, web-based tool provided by AAMVA that allows eligible entities to register and report vehicle records to the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) one vehicle at time. It is designed for smaller businesses that handle a limited number of junk, salvage, or insurance total loss vehicles. 
NMVTIS for Junk, Salvage & Insurance Entities

Entities such as individuals, recyclers, salvage pools, insurers, and shredders that are federally required to report to NMVTIS.

No. AAMVA offers SVRS free of charge.

Visit the SVRS Registration Page and complete the “New Customers Must Register Here” section. You will receive a USER ID and PASSWORD via email along with an account activation link.

After completing the registration, your USER ID and PASSWORD will be emailed to you with an activation link.

Yes. It is strongly recommended that your company’s contact information is kept current.

Use the Login ID or Password recovery links on the SVRS Login Page.

Use the Logon ID recovery utility on the login page to search by company name, address, or city/state.

A unique identifier assigned to each reporting entity. It is used to log in and is associated with all vehicle reports submitted to NMVTIS by that reporting entity.

Yes, but each line of business with its own Federal Tax ID must register separately. However, the best practice is to use a separate ID for each location as it will help to identify where the vehicle was located.

Visit Who Reports to NMVTIS - National Motor Vehicle Title Information System to search by ID or business name.

Not through SVRS. However, third-party data consolidators accept reports via fax or other media. View the list of approved consolidators.

No. SVRS only supports single VIN entry.

It refers to the entity or individual the vehicle was transferred to—not your company.

Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Use the mileage from the odometer at the time of purchase.

Log in to SVRS and select “Prior Reporting Submissions” from the main menu.

Yes if the disposition is known at the time of reporting.

Submit a new  report with the original date and updated disposition.

If you mistakenly report a vehicle, you can add a comment to the amendment to clarify the error. For example:
“Report made in error. This vehicle is not a Total Loss.”
This comment will effectively cancel out the incorrect report.
 

NMVTIS does not allow direct updates to submitted reports. Instead, you must amend the report by adding a comment explaining the error, then submit a new report with the cor-rect information. For example:
“Obtain date reported in error.”

Steps to amend a report:

1. Log in to the Single VIN Reporting Service (SVRS).
2. Select “Prior Reporting Submissions” from the main menu.
3. Locate the report submitted in error.
4. Click the “Pencil” icon next to the report.
5. Add a comment explaining the error and submit.
6. After the comment is accepted, the amendment is created the user will receive a confirmation email for each report amended.

No. Reports submitted through other data consolidators cannot be amended using the Single VIN Reporting Service.

You can still use SVRS with your existing Reporting Entity ID.

Register each line of business separately if they have different Federal Tax IDs.

• “I” – Insurer: Any individual or entity engaged in the business of underwriting automobile insurance.
• “R” – Recycler: Any business that acquires vehicles for recycled use as parts, scrap, or similar purposes.
• “P” – Salvage Pool: An entity that acquires junk and salvage automobiles from a variety of parties and consolidates them for resale at a common point of sale. 
• “D” – Shredder: An entity who receives vehicles in a crushed or condensed state for scrap metal processing. 
• “N” Individual: Individuals who are engaged in the act of acquiring or owning junk, or salvage automobiles for resale in their entirety or as spare parts for rebuilding, restoration or crushing. 

Auto recyclers, junk yards and salvage yards are required to provide NMVTIS with specific information on each vehicle received into inventory every month. More info.

Include: A four wheeled vehicle that is propelled by fuel, or by alternative fuel, manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways and rated at less than 10,000-pound gross vehicle weight. 

See guidance. Per NMVTIS regulation, a salvage yard is obligated to perform a visual inspection of the vehicle and review the title documents to determine the VIN.  A salvage yard is encouraged to make a good faith effort to obtain the VIN prior to not reporting the vehicle. 

Reports must be submitted at least monthly. More info.

Use one of the four approved third-party data consolidators. View list.

Yes. Most should register as “P” (Salvage Pool). Frequently Asked Questions | VehicleHistory
