Understanding DMV Error Codes: D070, D310, and 0016

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may present various error codes during vehicle registration or plate assignment processes. This article provides insights into common error codes such as D070, D310, and 0016, along with steps to resolve them.

Error Code D070

Error code D070 typically indicates an issue related to the vehicle's registration or personalized plate assignment process. This error usually arises when there is a discrepancy in the records; for instance, a personalized plate might be assigned but not correctly reflected in the system.

Resolution Steps for D070

• Submit Transaction: It is recommended to submit your transaction to the appropriate processing unit (SPU) for further assistance.
• Complete Plate Reassignment: Ensure that any personal plate reassignment is completed before proceeding with other transactions.
• No Efile Bypass: Note that this step cannot be bypassed through efile; it requires processing at either DMV or SPU.

Error Code D310

Error code D310, which signifies "Organization Code Invalid," occurs when there is an issue with the organization code associated with a specific vehicle’s VIN (e.g., M9G16827).

Troubleshooting Steps for D310

• Verify Organization Code: Double-check the entered organization code to ensure its accuracy.
• No Efile Bypass: Similar to error code D070, this issue cannot be resolved via efile and must be processed through SPU or at a DMV field office.
• Create New Plates if Necessary:If new plates are required for ownership transfer, use form REG 156 accordingly.
