Wis. Admin. Code § Trans 148.03 – Requirement to file and release security interest statement electronically.

(1) Unless exempt under s. Trans 148.06, a non-individual secured party is required to file all its security interest statements and release all its security interests on Wisconsin vehicle titles electronically as an update to the vehicle title record in the DMV database.
(2) A non-individual secured party that is releasing security interests and filing security interest statements on a vehicle that is not being transferred shall use either the e-MV Agent Internet-based web application established by the department or the vendor provided interface under the APPS program, as authorized under s. Trans 148.04.
(3) A secured party who is processing an application for a certificate of title as an agent in the APPS program under ch. Trans 156 may file the security interest statement as part of title processing, as authorized under s. Trans 148.04. In the event that a security interest is part of a certificate of title application that a motor vehicle dealer is processing under ch. Trans 141 or 156, or that the DMV is processing, the secured party shall release the security interest electronically.
(4) A non-individual secured party using DMV’s e-MV Agent Internet-based web application shall apply to the DMV on the DMV application form and shall comply with all applicable requirements, including those related to persons who have access to information subject to the federal driver privacy protection act, 18 USC 2721-2725.
Note: The DMV e-MV Agent Application Form is available on-line at the DOT web site www.dot.wisconsin.gov/business/dealers/emvagent.
(5) A non-individual secured party that has not previously filed a security interest statement on a Wisconsin title shall apply to the department for a secured party number and shall apply to file security interest statements electronically. The secured party shall begin processing security interest statements electronically within 30 days after the effective date of the DMV-assigned secured party number.
