How to become a Registration Service in the CA DMV BPA Program
Becoming a California DMV BPA Registration Service is a game-changer for any business that wants to handle vehicle registration and titling transactions. A Registration Service is an independent business authorized to process DMV paperwork on behalf of customers, offering convenience and efficiency that traditional DMV offices can’t match. However, obtaining a Registration Service license requires meeting strict DMV standards – including operational, security, and financial requirements.
ExpertEVR simplifies this process, providing the fastest, most efficient path to becoming a Registration Service and offering ongoing support to help you succeed once you’re licensed. Below, we break down the basics of the BPA program and what you’ll need to join as a Second Line Business Partner.
Registration Service License Requirements
To become a Registration Service under the California DMV BPA program, you must meet several licensing requirements. Key requirements include:
Business Location & Signage: You must have a physical office location with posted signage clearly identifying your business as a Registration Service. This location must be accessible for DMV inspection and open to the public for vehicle registration services.
Occupational License Application: Submit a completed Application for Occupational License – Registration Service (OL 601) to the DMV, detailing your business ownership and operations. This is the primary license application form that officially registers your business with the DMV.
Background Checks & Live Scan: All owners and key personnel will undergo a background check. Each person listed on your application must submit fingerprints via Live Scan (using DMV form 8016) and pass a Department of Justice background clearance.
Surety Bond: Obtain a $25,000 surety bond (using DMV form OL 605) from an approved provider. This bond protects the public and DMV against any fraud or violations by your business. It’s a core requirement to ensure you operate ethically and in compliance.
DMV Training: Complete the DMV’s mandatory Registration Service training. You and any staff handling transactions will need to understand California DMV policies, regulations, and the proper use of the electronic registration system.
Record-Keeping & Security: Implement proper record-keeping and data security practices. The DMV requires that you maintain all transaction records for audit and protect customers’ personal information. You’ll need written procedures for safeguarding data and ensuring privacy.
- Requester Code (If Applicable): If you are an are in need of Vehicle Registration Records or Motor Vehicle Records, you must have a valid Requester Code.
Responsibilities of a Licensed Registration Service
As a licensed Registration Service (an official Second Line Business Partner), your business will be able to handle a wide range of DMV transactions for customers. With that opportunity comes responsibility. You will be expected to:
Process Vehicle Registrations & Titles: Handle new vehicle registrations, title transfers, and duplicate title requests on behalf of customers, just like a DMV office would.
Process Registration Renewals: Quickly process annual registration renewals and issue year stickers, helping customers avoid long DMV wait times.
Issue Plates & Decals: Distribute license plates (standard and special plates) and registration decals as authorized by the DMV for completed transactions.
Manage NMVTIS & Title Branding: Ensure compliance with all title branding laws and National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) reporting when processing transfers (important for salvage or junk vehicles).
Maintain Compliance & Service: Provide professional customer service while strictly following DMV regulations. You’ll be responsible for staying compliant to avoid any penalties or risk of your license being revoked.
