Fraud Training Requirements

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

Purpose

This bulletin is to remind the tag and title industry that the Fraud Training offered by the MVA Investigations Division is required for all NEW tag and title representatives and update information previously shared in the January 6, 2026, bulletin about fraud training requirements. The updated text is noted below.   

Summary

Starting January 1, 2026, any newly licensed tag and title representatives will need to register for, and attend, the monthly fraud training class at the MVA headquarters in Glen Burnie. 

As a general practice, a newly licensed tag and title representative should attend the training scheduled for the following month after the new license was issued and approved. For example, if an agent’s license is issued in January, the agent should take the January class if there is still room or the February class. If the newly licensed agent is unable to attend that session or the class is full that month, the agent must register for the following month’s class. If the agent does not take this required course, the agent’s ERT privileges may being suspended and/or MVA may take further administrative action.  

This training is also required if: 

• If you held a previous tag and title representative license that was cancelled or expired, and you were issued a new license
• If you transfer to a new agency and have not taken the fraud training after January 1, 2026

Monthly Fraud Training Schedule

The training will take place on the dates listed below and will run from 9am to 11am at MVA’s headquarters located at 6601 Ritchie Highway, NE, Glen Burnie MD 21062.  This is an in-person training. It cannot be completed virtually.

Once a new title service representative license is approved, the newly licensed agent will need to contact the Investigations Division to register for the next available training session. 

Update: Please send an email to MVA Investigations Training [email protected] 

Update: The email MUST include the name of the title service agency, the name of the person who is attending, and an email address and phone number for the attendee. A confirmation email will be sent to registrants.
 

Important things to remember:

1. All licensed agents must bring their Professional License, a good magnifying glass and small flashlight to the training session.
2. While this is a requirement for newly licensed tag and title representatives, the MVA may require currently licensed representatives to take the fraud training as well.
3. The Investigations Division may be able to offer additional classes depending on the attendance level and/or classes at certain MVA branches around the state. Please contact Investigations for more details.
