How to Obtain a PTI for DMV Fees

If you need to obtain a Payment Transaction Identifier (PTI) for your DMV fees, follow the steps outlined below. This guide will help ensure that you have all necessary information and documentation ready.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Information

The first step in obtaining your PTI is to collect the required information:

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Make sure to have the last six digits of your vehicle's VIN on hand.

Step 2: Complete Required Forms

If your trailer has an ELT "paperless" lien holder, you must complete additional paperwork:

• Reg 227 Form: Fill out sections 1-3 of this form.
• Statement of Facts: Include a detailed explanation of your situation along with the Reg 227 form.

Step 3: Submit Your Documents

Your completed documents should be sent to the corrections department at the same office where you submit other bundles. The corrections department will then forward everything to Sacramento for processing.

Step 4: Confirm Requirements with Corrections Department

Before submitting any documents, it’s advisable to contact or email the corrections department. This ensures that you are aware of their specific requirements and can avoid any potential delays in processing.

Step 5: Consider Refund Application if Applicable

If you've paid over $200 but only owe around $54, consider submitting an application for a refund as well. This could help recover some excess fees paid during previous transactions.

Tips for Success:

• Avoid incomplete submissions by double-checking all forms and statements before sending them off.
• Keeps copies of all submitted documents for your records in case further clarification is needed later on.

This guide should effectively assist you in obtaining your PTI without unnecessary complications!
