These changes will continue to reinforce IAA’s overall commitment to a healthy and responsible expansion of our industry.”

In addition to delivering an electronic file transfer of the necessary data elements, the scanned images associated with each salvage certificate will also be provided by IAA. All documents will be stored and maintained by IAA for one year and made available to the New York State DMV upon request.

IAA works in concert with state and federal governments to facilitate legislation and regulation that ensures responsible business conduct and continued healthy expansion of the salvage auto auction industry. This growth is good for all participants and ensures greater efficiency for the disposal of assets for our clients.
