The Michigan Department of State (MDOS) is expanding its current online services for commercial clients to include vehicle title and registration transactions such as registration renewals and obtaining duplicate title/registration. This new feature also allows businesses to renew multiple vehicles at the same time.
The program is open to any business that owns multiple vehicles registered in the State of Michigan. Under the program, organizations can renew their business vehicle registration tags online, get a duplicate title and/or registration and get vehicle title information.
To sign up, the business needs to fill out a short application and attach an Excel spreadsheet of the company’s vehicles and email it to the department. The department will link all of the vehicles to the business’ Federal EIN number and their State of Michigan login. Once this is done, the business can log in and manage their vehicles.
You can participate in just a few easy steps:
Step 1: Complete the attached Business Customer Account Application – this will be used to create a business account within the state’s system storing all of the vehicles owned by the business.
Step 2: Verify your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) – this is needed to establish the business account and will be used to associate the business’ vehicles to the account and to access the account online.
Step 3: Gather a listing of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for all vehicles owned by the business. This information should be in an Excel worksheet and will be used to associate the vehicles to the business account.
Step 4: Submit your application and VIN worksheet to this email: MDOS-Business-Customers@michigan.gov. You will be notified once the business account has been established. Note: Commercial clients with an existing business account should indicate the FEIN when you title a new vehicle to ensure online services are applicable to that new vehicle.
Here is the application that needs to be submitted to the above-mentioned email address. There is no requirement to sign up, but it may be helpful in fulfilling future needs with the Secretary of State.
