PRICING
Understanding Fees for MVA-Related Services
Every MVA-related transaction has two separate cost components: Maryland MVA government fees, which are set by the state and paid to the MVA, and Signature Tag & Title's service fee, which covers the convenience of having our team prepare, process, and submit your paperwork. Government fees are never kept as company revenue — they are passed through directly to the MVA.
