Overview

VITU is an Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR) service provider that allows dealerships to electronically process vehicle registration transactions within their state. While VITU supports multiple states, the current integration described in this article is available only for California dealerships.

Unlike integrations with providers such as Fairfax Imaging, most of the Report of Sale (ROS) workflow will occur directly inside the VITU portal. DMO prepares the deal information and transfers the deal and you to the VITU portal to complete the required steps.

If you are already logged into VITU, the form will open automatically so you can continue the process.
