Louisiana Public Title Agency Software

Built by PTAs, for PTAs.

The only workflow platform designed specifically for Louisiana-licensed Public Title Agencies — every OMV VR process, guided step by step.

PTA Desk replaces the guesswork of the OMV portal with guided transaction wizards, built-in document checklists, automatic 40-day deadline tracking, and complete customer and vehicle history — all in one place.

The Problem

The OMV portal wasn't built for PTA work

The state portal is a raw data-entry form. It won't tell you which documents are required for a VR57 used vehicle title transfer. It won't warn you that the 40-day filing deadline is tomorrow. It won't calculate the right parish tax rate for a buyer who lives in a different parish than your office. One missed field, wrong rate, or expired deadline can mean rejected filings, fines, or liability for your agency.

What PTA Desk does

Purpose-built for RS 47:532.1 licensed agencies processing Louisiana OMV transactions.

Step-by-Step VR Workflows

Guided wizards for all 31 title and registration transaction types from DPSMV1758 — VR11 through VR65. Every required field, in the right order, every time.

40-Day Deadline Enforcement

Filing deadline calculated automatically from sale date. Color-coded warnings as you approach and pass the deadline, with penalty information built in.

Required Document Checklists

Each VR code has its own document checklist. Staff cannot advance past a step until all required documents are uploaded — no more missed affidavits or missing odometer disclosures.

Parish-Based Tax Calculation

Tax is calculated on the buyer's parish of domicile, not the dealer location. All 64 Louisiana parishes with current state and local rates — including RS 47:463(A)(2) donation plate fees.

PDF Receipts & Full History

Itemized receipts for every completed transaction. Every customer, vehicle, and transaction stored permanently — find anything in seconds.

Ready for CHAMPgov (2027)

Louisiana's new OMV backend arrives in 2027. PTA Desk is already architected to flip to CHAMPgov with a single config change — no workflow disruption.

How it works

Same OMV process, without the guesswork.

1

Select the transaction type

Choose from the full list of VR codes. PTA Desk loads the correct workflow — required fields, documents, and fee calculation for that specific process.

2

Work through the guided steps

Each step shows only what's needed. Document checklists appear automatically. Domain rules fire warnings — late filings, notarization prompts, NADA-based donation plate fees.

3

Submit to the OMV and record confirmation

PTA Desk prepares a complete summary. Your staff submits to the OMV portal as normal and pastes the confirmation number back to close the transaction.

4

PDF receipt generated and stored

Itemized receipt with VR code, buyer/seller, vehicle, all fees, and the OMV confirmation number. Stored permanently — find any transaction in seconds.
