Official sources only
Every fee, form, and rule on this site traces to an official government page. These are the domains we rely on.
Federal
- NHTSA (nhtsa.gov) - federal odometer and title rules, VIN guidance.
- NMVTIS (vehiclehistory.gov) - the national motor vehicle title information system consumers can query.
- AAMVA (aamva.org) - electronic lien and title program standards across states.
State agencies (examples)
- Delaware - dmv.de.gov (titling, duplicate titles, fees).
- Florida - flhsmv.gov (fee schedule, forms 82040 and 82109, ELT program).
- Georgia - dor.georgia.gov (MV-1, TAVT, DRIVES, ELT).
- Texas - txdmv.gov (VTR-34 certified copies).
- California - dmv.ca.gov (REG 227, Virtual Office).
Each state guide links the exact agency pages used for that state, so you can verify any number at the source.
How we cite
Sources appear as inline links next to the facts they support. When an agency publishes a PDF form or fee table, we link the PDF itself. See the methodology page for how sources are weighed, and our editorial policy for how errors get corrected.
