Vehicle titling and registration are complex and can be daunting, with regulations that vary from state to state. It’s challenging to keep up with the changes, let alone implement them correctly, and many dealers aren’t sure who to trust to solve their compliance problems. The current piecemeal solutions in the market leave many compliance gaps for dealers to fall through. The industry needs a unified full-spectrum solution that everyone can count on to keep them connected and protected.

The Solution: CVR’s 360-Degree Protection

CVR is, simply put, an electronic title and registration platform that connects dealerships directly to state DMV systems. CVR submits deals and paperwork electronically where applicable, transfers funds securely, and enables customers to drive away with fully registered vehicles the same day they buy them. CVR combines smart technology with expert guidance to ensure speed, accuracy and compliance.

How CVR Works

CVR integrates directly with a dealership’s DMS, so all customer and vehicle information transfers automatically. It then validates it against state-specific requirements and submits titles and registration electronically.

  • When you complete a vehicle sale, CVR:
  • Pulls customer and vehicle information directly from your DMS — no retyping or manual forms
  • Validates against your state’s specific requirements in real time 
  • Submits the title and registration electronically to the DMV
  • Transfers funds electronically, eliminating the need for checks
  • Supports 16 states (17 including AVRS – CA) with constantly updated rules and forms

Real-World Problems CVR Solves for Dealers

Same-Day Registration
Customers no longer have to wait for mailed documents, use temporary tags or even step foot in the DMV. They leave the dealership fully registered and ready to drive, which increases their satisfaction with the sale and encourages repeat business. 

No More Mailing Mistakes
Paper forms can get lost, delayed or rejected for minor errors. With CVR, everything is submitted electronically, and if an issue arises, CVR alerts dealers immediately so they can make corrections before it becomes a problem.

Fewer Data Entry Errors
Errors in manual data entry are a common cause of DMV rejections. CVR pulls VINs, names and addresses directly from the DMS, eliminating mistakes and the headaches that follow. 

Instant Funds Transfer
No more waiting for checks to clear. Dealerships can move money electronically and securely, saving hours of administrative work every week.
