The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System — explained.
NMVTIS is a US federal database that all 50 states are legally required to report vehicle title changes to. It's the most authoritative vehicle history source in the country — and it's what powers VINCheck USA.
Every title event across all 50 states — including salvage, flood, rebuilt, junk, lemon law buyback
Vehicles reported stolen to law enforcement and not recovered — flagged permanently in the database
Mileage readings from state DMVs and inspection events — detects rollback fraud
Reports from insurance companies and salvage yards that declare vehicles total losses
NMVTIS stands for the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System — a federally-mandated US database that collects title, salvage, theft, and odometer data from all 50 states, insurance companies, and junk/salvage yards.
All US states, insurance companies that total vehicles, and junk/salvage yards are legally required to report to NMVTIS. This makes it the most comprehensive official vehicle history database in the US.
NMVTIS data is the core data source for CARFAX, AutoCheck, and VINCheck USA. The federal data is identical. Commercial providers may supplement with additional sources like dealer records or service histories.
Yes. VINCheck USA sources its data directly from NMVTIS — the same federally-mandated database used by all major vehicle history report providers in the US.
