Chapter 3: VEHICLE TITLING
3.1 DLR 300-TITLING A VEHICLE
3.1.1 Titling a New Vehicle
PURCHASER
The purchaser of the new vehicle completes and signs form VSA-17A, “Application for
Certificate of Title and Registration”.
DEALER
The dealer shall calculate the amount of the title fee and registration fee (see special
instructions for Emissions Inspection Fee, DLR 610 p.1 if applicable, see Chapter 4 for
information on fee calculation), taxes due for the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax,
(SUT) using the sales price and dealer processing fee if applicable, and the Uninsured
Motor Vehicle Fee (if appropriate) and collect the fees and taxes from the purchaser.
The dealer then submits to DMV:
a. form VSA-17A “Application for Certificate of Title and Registration”
b. Manufacturer’s Statement/Certificate of Origin (MSO/MCO) for the vehicle
c. appropriate fees.
d. Odometer Disclosure Statement, (VSA-5), if not disclosed on the MSO/MCO
NOTE: If applicant requests a Special Plate, collect the additional registration fee.
NOTE FOR ONLINE DEALERS: When titling and registering with new license plates
or transferring plates with a renewal, edits in the transactions will only be invoked in the
“pending” or “step one” edit transactions submitted. If a transaction is not flagged at that
point, it will not be flagged in the subsequent “final” or “step four” edit of the update
transaction. If the “registration period/expiration date” edit is invoked and an error
generated, the online dealer will receive the following messages [the messages will also
be returned when the vendor passes the fee, based on a different registration period (such
as either one or two years) different that the two-month period required due to a SR22 or
FR44 insurance verification requirement]:
“V1131 REGISTRATION LIMITED TO TWO MONTHS – FUTURE EXP
DT IS “mmyy”: Where “mmyy” will be the month and year expiration of the
registration period (such as “0309” for a March, 2009 expiration)
The following message will be returned to the online dealer when the vehicle is titled and
registration transferred with a renewal for a customer with a requirement for a SR22 or
FR44. This message will be sent so that the dealer doesn’t allow the customer to leave
with decals allowing more than two months of validity, then discover the situation for the
first time upon processing of the renewal transaction afterwards:
