The following bullets are excerpted from Maryland MVA’s February 2026 “Talking Points” newsletter. We hope you find this information useful, and if you have a topic, you’d like us to cover in a future newsletter, please send it to Kristin Orlando-Dillahunt at korlando@mdot.maryland.gov.
Vehicle Services – Tips & Reminders
- When a vehicle is traded in, the trade-in date should never be after the delivery date. If a trade-in date is entered after the delivery date, you will now receive an error message preventing the transaction from going through. This functionality was recently added.
- All questions or concerns about transactions submitted through the business portal for the Glen Burnie office only should be sent via email to MDDTTS@mdot.maryland.gov. In the subject line of the email, please enter the confirmation number and the last name of the customer or business name.
- If you receive a “Pending Rejection” notification for a portal transaction, you must respond within 24 hours. After 24 hours, the transaction will be rejected and must be resubmitted. · It is necessary to complete a transmittal sheet (VR-205 dated 8/22) when uploading portal transactions. The MVA is looking to make an enhancement to the portal to create an electronic transmittal sheet when transactions are uploaded to the portal. · Print on Demand – The bulletin distributed on 2/5/2026 notifies businesses that the VR-005 has been added to the list of forms that have become “print on demand” and will no longer be available to order from the MVA warehouse.
