VituSign
Vitu describes VituSign as its digital signature service for title and registration documents. The company says it completed a vehicle sale without a physical ink signature using VituSign, describing it as a first for the nation.

The service is offered through a Digital Signatures API.
The security description centers on identity. Vitu says its digital signatures add a layer of verification for signers through ID verification and proof that the signer is the same person shown on the ID.
It states that the Digital Signature API provides NIST Level 2 security for title and registration documents.
Coverage of forms is a key point. Vitu says the service delivers digitally signed forms, including those with an odometer disclosure.
It presents digital signatures as the new way to complete title and registration paperwork. Which specific forms a given state accepts with an electronic signature is a matter of that state's rules.
A dealer would confirm it for each state where it registers vehicles.
The service works on mobile devices, in person or remotely. Vitu says the customer does not have to be at the dealership to sign for a new vehicle, which supports remote and home-delivery sales.
Implementation is described as simple API calls that specify the forms being signed, where to sign and who is signing.
Vitu also offers digital title and registration, trade-in payoff and lien release, digital signatures on DMV documents inside its DMVdesk product, and training on motor vehicle department policies and procedures. The National Title Exchange, promoted on the company's LinkedIn page, is another part of the same platform.
Vitu's timeline page publishes the company's history. Another vendor, VitalEdge, launched a product called VESign, reported by Auto Success, which shows electronic signature is offered by several providers in the dealer market.
For a business office the questions are: which states and form types are supported, how the signer's identity is checked, how the signed forms are stored and retrieved, whether the dealer's DMS or desking tool can call the service directly, and how a signed document is presented to the state agency. The category guide for e-signature and titling lists the same points.
Ask who supports it. Ask for reference calls.
