Form 5027 A PDF Details

When it comes to obtaining vehicle information, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles has set forth a detailed process through the 5027-A form, revised in July 2018. Designed to safeguard personal information in line with Federal Law, specifically the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, this form is used to request vehicle information for various permissible purposes. These purposes range from government function execution and business verification needs to litigation, research, insurance underwriting, and more. The form is diligently structured into multiple parts, each necessitating careful completion to ensure the lawful release of information. Part 1 clarifies the conditions under which information can be requested, emphasizing the importance of the requester's entitlement under Federal Law to access the information for the outlined uses. With specific sections designated for single requests or multiple, the form also accommodates consent from vehicle owners when necessary and specifies the applicable fees for different types of information being sought. All these measures underscore a commitment to protecting individual privacy while facilitating legitimate access to vehicle information, necessitating the mailing of this document to the Titles Mail-In Unit in Blythewood, South Carolina, for processing exclusively at DMV Headquarters.
