Trans 141.06(2)
(2) Exempt certificates of title and registration. A motor vehicle dealer is not required to process certificate of title and registration transactions for a vehicle that is prohibited from successful registration processing because of an express limitation on the vehicle title, registration, or customer record, or on the e-MV11 internet-based web application or APPS. For these specifically identified vehicle transactions, the department may not charge a motor vehicle dealer a transaction processing fee for processing applications on behalf of the dealer. A motor vehicle dealer is required to submit certificate of title and registration applications under this subsection to the department within 7 business days after a motor vehicle sale.
Trans 141.06 Note
Note: DMV will be continually updating the e-MV11 internet-based web application and requiring vendor updating of APPS. As updates are completed, additional transaction types will be mandated for dealer processing. DMV will notify all applicable dealers before new transaction types become subject to mandatory processing.
