How does a business "authenticate"?
 
Answer:
To use ExpressSOS, a business can only have one business address on system and no leased or co-owned vehicles. The business customer enters the title number of a vehicle owned by the business along with the business name and ZIP code. Second, using the same steps as for individual customer authentication, the system verifies the identity of the person conducting the transaction on behalf of the business. (Business customers choosing Express Renewal to renew their vehicle plates do not authenticate.)

Businesses are limited to license plate and watercraft renewals, and duplicate title and registration transactions. The customer file of the individual conducting the transaction is never accessed or revealed.
