Vehicle title brands and notations

A title brand refers to a designation placed on a vehicle’s title to indicate that the car has experienced specific incidents or damage that may have compromised it at some point. These designations serve as warnings for potential buyers, providing information about the car’s history.

Consumer Alert: Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) highly recommends you check the vehicle history before you purchase a used car. You may request the dealer provide you with a vehicle history report. You may also purchase a vehicle history report on the U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).
