Administrative Fine Waivers: 30-day Notice

Vehicle Dealers |

Welcome to the new MVA.Maryland.gov!

You’ve reached the new website for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. Thanks for visiting!

Bulletin: All Dealers and Tag and Title Agencies
From: Business Licensing and Compliance

Purpose

The purpose of this bulletin is to give the business community a 30-day notice of the end of the mandatory ERT document uploading transition period. 

Summary

In the ERT Letters and Notices of Administrative Fines bulletin dated June 12, 2024 (available here), we explained how to request a waiver of administrative fines during the transition to mandatory electronic filing and noted that, when the transition period ends, the only reason for granting a waiver is documented technical errors with your vendor. We also stated that we would provide a 30-day notice before ending the transition period.

This bulletin is the 30-day notice that the transition period is ending. This means that transactions processed via ERT on or after October 1, 2024, are not eligible for a waiver of administrative fines unless there is a documented technical error with your vendor. 

Please keep in mind that the documents are still required even if a fine is issued and paid. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at 410-787-2952 or [email protected].
