Wisconsin dealers required to process electronically

A law passed in July 2005 requires that all licensed motor vehicle dealers electronically process title and registration applications for their customers by June 30, 2007.

If a dealership sold 48 or fewer vehicles in 2006, it may be exempt from the electronic processing requirement. If the dealership is exempt and chooses not to electronically process, it must pay an additional $15 per application.

If a dealership is not exempt it will be assessed a $50 surcharge for each application submitted to DMV for processing that can be completed electronically. This surcharge cannot be passed on to the customer.

It is to your dealership's advantage to learn an electronic system. Wisconsin DMV is pleased to offer three choices for electronic titling:

CVR: Kelly Medick, (847) 230-6702
DealerTrack (replaces triVIN): Kim Winskell, (800) 876-2312, ext. 4242
e-MV11: www.dot.wi.gov/business/dealers/emv11
WisDOT Customer Service Unit, (608) 266-1425

e-MV11

WisDOT's e-MV11 program now allows motor vehicle dealers to electronically process all title/registration applications for their customers via the Internet.

There are numerous benefits in filing electronically. To name a few, there is no charge and the program allows dealers to meet the requirements of the Wisconsin budget bill that requires all licensed motor vehicle dealers to electronically process all title/registration applications for their customers via the Internet.
