Apparently their vehicle records don't go back to 1972...just wondering if that's true.

 

I don't work there but i submitted a request for my 70 and was told the same thing. No records. Sad.

 

"Sad"???

Why would any governmental organization waste tax dollars to archive half-century old paper documents, most of which were for cars that were scrapped decades ago?

Their tossing records can happen in a much shorter time-frame.

When my Minnesota 442 was 30 years old, I stored it for 4 years (no license renewal). When I wanted to renew the license, they said there were no records of my car and I had to prove it was mine by sending them the original title.

I told them I would send a copy of the title, because if I sent them the original, they could toss that at any time and I would be out of luck with a future renewal.

They did not reply, but did accept the copy.
