Verified steps
Confirm NMVTIS access requires going through an AAMVA-approved data provider — there is no direct public consumer API endpoint for raw NMVTIS data.
Apply to become, or contract with, an Approved NMVTIS Data Provider per AAMVA's business rules for a production integration.
Submit the VIN to the provider's NMVTIS report endpoint and request the brand history, title history, and odometer fields.
Parse the response for state-applied brands (salvage, flood, junk, rebuilt) and the most recent odometer reading.
Display the required NMVTIS attribution when showing report data to end users, per AAMVA usage terms.
Known gotchas
NMVTIS covers title/brand history only — it does not include accident, recall, or full service history; don't conflate it with Carfax/AutoCheck-style reports.
Only DOJ/AAMVA-approved providers may resell NMVTIS report data; exposing raw NMVTIS data outside that program can violate AAMVA terms.
Coverage and update latency vary by state, so the absence of a brand is not proof the vehicle is clean.
