What Is an Auto Branded Title?

A branded title provides information about a vehicle's usage history. Types of auto branded titles differ in every state. Common branded titles include Recreational Vehicle, Manufactured Home, Repossession, Non-highway, Flood, Motor Exchange, Body Exchange, Rebuilt Salvage and Salvage. Other branded titles include Original Taxi, Prior Taxi and Lemon Law Buyback.

History

    In the mid-1990s, the U.S. Department of Justice created the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, a database of auto-titling information accessible to states, businesses and consumers. Since its creation, NMVTIS has provided vehicle histories to many buyers and protected them from purchasing significantly damaged or stolen vehicles.

Process

    Consumers can now easily check the history of vehicles online. For those looking to purchase a used car, the history of the car can now be checked by visiting NMVTIS.gov and entering the vehicle identification number (VIN). The unique history of the car will be displayed and can be printed.

Function

    The report from NMVTIS.gov covers five points: the state of vehicle title, branded title details, odometer reading history, total loss history and salvage history. Armed with this information before buying, consumers can be certain not to overpay and ensure vehicles have not been stolen or misrepresented and are safe to operate.
