Step 1 - Organization Sign-Up - Business Information

Step 2 - Organization Sign-Up - Business Information
  1. Confirm the information is correct at the top of the page. If the information is incorrect, select the Back button to return to Step 1 and update information. At this point you will be able to save your progress, however information selected in Step 1 cannot be updated once you save your application.

  2. If your organization has previously electronically processed applications with the Department of Transportation, enter your Terminal Number and select Verify. If your organization does/has not electronically processed applications with the Department of Transportation in the past, select 'No'. Dealerships will need to enter their dealer number and Secured Parties will need to enter their secured party number and select Verify. If valid, the organization information on record at the Department of Transportation will display.
  3. Complete the contact name, phone number and email address of the individual that will be used to communicate with the Department of Transportation during the application process.
  4. The requested WAMS ID field towards the bottom of the page is explained in the blue message box above the field. Once the Organization is approved, the individual whose WAMS ID is on file with the application will be given permission to set up the users for the Organization. A user is a person that will be using the system to process transactions on behalf of the Department of Transportation. Once you enter a WAMS ID, you must verify the WAMS ID by clicking the blue Verify button. If the WAMS ID does NOT verify, you may not continue.
