webDEALER logoThe eTAG System has moved to webDEALER! - webDEALER is now the system used to create Buyer Tags (or other tags) and process title applications. Users who have accounts for both eTAG and webDEALER can now issue tags and create title applications within the same system.

Individuals who only use eTAG or webDEALER will have the same access in the new system as they do today.

All users will be able to login to webDEALER using their current eTAG username and password.

In addition, all paper tags will have enhanced security features, and dealers will be able to pay for Buyer Tags issued to out of state purchasers online by credit card.
