What does our DMV software for dealers do?
DMV software, sometimes referred to Dealer Electronic Registration and Titling (ERT), or auto Tax Title, and License (TTL software), lets a licensed California dealership process vehicle registration, titling, and report of sale transactions at the dealership instead of routing paperwork through a DMV field office.
This includes Temporary License Plates (TLP) and Electronic Report of Sale (EROS). The California DMV Business Partner Automation program authorizes qualified partners to process vehicle related transactions, including vehicle registration and titling, from their remote locations, per the DMV BPA program page.
Dealership EVR software built on that program prints registration cards, issues plates and stickers on site, and transmits title data to DMV systems electronically. Dealers also call this category dealer registration software, dealership titling software, or TTL software.
How does electronic vehicle registration work in California?
Electronic vehicle registration (EVR) in California operates under the DMV Business Partner Automation (BPA) program, authorized by California Vehicle Code section 1685 and regulated by 13 CCR Article 3.6. Vehicle Code section 1685 authorizes the DMV to establish contracts for electronic programs with qualified private industry partners for registration and titling transactions. The program defines 3 partner tiers: first line business partners, first line service providers, and second line business partners. A first line service provider connects directly to DMV systems and transmits transactions for authorized second line business partners, including new and used vehicle dealers. Expert operates as a first line service provider, and dealers enroll under Expert as second line business partners.
Works with your Dealer Management System
Expert integrates our DMV Software for Dealers with dealer management systems through Authenticom, the DMS data integration layer. Deal data flows into registration and titling without manual rekeying, and registration status writes back to the deal record. Authenticom maintains connections across major franchise and independent DMS platforms, so switching your registration provider does not mean replacing your DMS.
DMV software for used car dealerships
Used car dealerships use dealership DMV software to process used vehicle reports of sale, ownership transfers, and registration renewals from the lot. Used vehicle reports of sale follow VIRM Chapter 8, wholesale reports of sale follow VIRM Chapter 9, and transfers follow VIRM Chapter 11. Independent dealers without a franchise DMS still connect, because Expert supports both direct entry and DMS integration through Authenticom. Stores that buy at auction register non-resident vehicles brought in from out of state, a listed BPA transaction type. Experts Dealership Registration Software is the first to ever be built by a Second Line Business Partner. We have performed millions of transactions with our DMV Software and Used Car Dealerships all over California are finally given another choice for their Dealership Registration Software.
Dealership titling software
Dealership titling software processes California title transactions electronically, including legal owner transfers and replacement titles, through the same BPA connection that handles registration. Expert transmits title data to DMV systems in real time, and title transfers are typically recorded within minutes rather than mail cycles. Dealers searching for auto dealer titling software, dealer titling software, or e-titling software are describing the same capability: title work processed by the dealership itself under the BPA program. Experts DMV Software for Dealers is the first new choice in over a decade.
DMV software for new car dealerships
All new motor vehicle dealers in California must participate in the Business Partner Automation program, per the California DMV. Franchised new car dealerships process new vehicle reports of sale under VIRM Chapter 6, complete first registration at delivery, and issue plates before the buyer leaves the store. Expert connects new car dealership deal data through Authenticom, so registration work starts from the DMS record instead of rekeyed forms. High volume stores get a per-transaction audit trail that a compliance manager can pull during a DMV records review. There are only a handful of companies that provide Dealership Registration Software in California, ExpertEVR.com being the most modern.
What does DMV software for dealers cost?
The California DMV charges a $7 transaction fee for each BPA transaction processed to completion, per the DMV BPA program page. Licensed dealers may charge up to $30 per transaction under the program, per the same DMV page. Expert quotes dealership pricing by monthly transaction volume.
