To help jurisdictions determine if their license plates meet these standards, AAMVA now offers the License Plate Verification Program (LPVP). The LPVP offers jurisdictions the opportunity to submit up to four license plates free of charge for comparison with the 2020 AAMVA License Plate Standard in each AAMVA fiscal year. A written report will be prepared indicating where the submitted licence plate complies with the standard and where it does not. Learn more here under the License Plate Verification tab. This is a historic moment of reciprocity for the Georgian DDS. Taiwan is only the second country to have concluded this agreement with the state, South Korea was the first in 2013. AAMVA hosted a webinar on November 10, 2020 to engage NMVTIS stakeholders. This was the third meeting in the current set of commitments. Nearly 200 participants from across the stakeholder community participated, including state law enforcement and motor vehicle agencies, salvage pools, recycling, auto auctions, dealers, insurance companies, consumers, data providers and consolidators, federal agencies, and independent organizations focused on reducing vehicle crime. This webinar focused on the Waste/Recovery and Insurance (Total Loss) Reporting Program.
Representatives from industry, data consolidators, GM compliance and enforcement, and government law enforcement spoke on the topic. AAMVA as an NMVTIS operator also gave a brief update on the system activities. The replay of this meeting, as well as the two previous webinars (November 18, 2019 and May 16, 2020), will be posted on the AAMVA website. The Q&A part of this meeting will be published in the coming weeks. The next stakeholder webinar is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 19, 2021.

Velva Crahan, a pioneer of U-Haul, has died. She was 91 years old.
