In the meantime, until a fix is deployed to production, please use the following workaround:
What Counties Need to Do:

Follow-up to the initial issue bulletin, previously published on 07/01/2025:
The printer and sticker paper receipt issue has been resolved for Counties, but not RSCs.

UPDATE – Internet Down Receipt Increase
Good morning,
We are aware the Registration and Title System is not properly setting the vehicle class for
non-titled records. We are actively working on a solution. In the interim, to ensure vehicle
records are properly set up, counties need to take the following steps when processing a
non-titled record:
1. Select Non-Titled on the Title Types TTL002 screen
2. Change the Vehicle Class to MISC on the Class/Plate/Sticker Type Choice
REG008 screen
3. Select the appropriate Registration Class and Plate Type and continue with
the transaction.
If a county has processed a non-titled record today without the vehicle class set to MISC, the
county will need to void the transaction and reprocess.
Update 07/03/2025 @ 11:25 AM: RESOLVED.
Follow-up to the initial issue bulletin, previously published on 07/01/2025:
