SAVE Access Methods & Transaction Charges
|
Access Methods
The SAVE Program offers multiple system access methods based on the user’s needs:
Electronic
-
Web-based Access - internet access to the system using a secure web browser
-
Web Services- a type of interface designed to support a machine-to-machine connection over a network
-
SAVE via AAMVAnet (VLS) - a new method that enables state DMVs to use AAMVAnet's single point of entry
Paper-Based
-
Form G-845 Verification Request Document - a paper form to be used by agencies who cannot access the SAVE systems electronically. Special charges apply (see below).
Transaction Charges
SAVE charges for services based on the number and type of transactions. An initial electronic verification query incurs a base transaction charge. Certain access methods allow an opportunity to edit or correct the initial electronic query information (a “retry”). If a “retry” requires additional verification, an additional transaction charge is assessed. The electronic third step is free of charge****. Agencies submitting paper Forms G-845 will be charged $2.00 per case.

****Electronic third steps are free of charge only when an initial verification (first step) query and additional (second step) query are submitted. If IAV is skipped, there is a charge of $0.50.
