DVS Dealer Update



What's New in this Update

  • Electronic liens and EVTR
  • Dealer license certificate change


Electronic leans and EVTR

An SQR went into production in December that allows vehicles with electronically released liens to be processed through EVTR.

 

There is a new field available in your vehicle inquiry that states if a lien has been electronically released or not. It is a YES/NO answer.

 

If you look at the record through “Search Vehicle Information” in your e-Services for Business account it would look like this and show a release date.

Electronic lien release example

If the answer is Yes (or the vehicle search shows a lien release date), then the lien holder information does not need to be inputted in the “Submit” and “Complete” process and will not need to be released on the “Certify”. 

 

In the example above, this lien has been released already by the bank and no additional paperwork is required. You just need to turn in the Minnesota title with all transfers completed and the application signed.



Dealer license certificate change

Previously, only one additional location would print on the dealer license certificate. Now all additional locations will print on the license. The first additional location prints on the front of the license. Any additional locations will print on a second page. The second page will also have additional DBAs and owners/officers that don’t fit on the first page of the license.

Here's an example of the first page of the license with the first additional location listed.
