About DLRdmv

DLRdmv is a US software company whose platform automates the vehicle title and registration workflow for automotive dealerships, online retailers, and the RV, powersports, salvage, and rental-car segments. Its products combine an in-state electronic titling service with DLR50, a next-generation out-of-state solution that handles cross-border title and registration transactions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, calculating taxes and fees to the penny across more than 13,000 local jurisdictions. The company competes in the automotive retail back-office and compliance software niche, differentiating through deep integrations with more than 20 dealer management systems and a choice of dealer-managed or full-service agency processing per deal. According to company disclosures, DLRdmv serves more than 5,000 dealerships nationwide, with DLR50 alone used by over 1,500 dealerships, and is a licensed eTitling provider in states including Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

Ownership journey

DLRdmv was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Dallas, building its business around electronic titling and registration as one of the largest unsolved workflow problems in automotive retail. In the first half of 2025, the Apax Digital Fund II, the growth-equity vehicle managed by Apax Partners, invested in the company as part of a wider deployment across newly signed private-equity investments. Apax backed DLRdmv as a category leader positioned to scale its titling technology across in-state and out-of-state use cases. The fund remains an active shareholder and DLRdmv is still listed as a current Apax partnership; no exit or secondary transaction has been recorded.

Under PE ownership

The 2025 investment was aimed at scaling DLRdmv's platform and extending its out-of-state DLR50 solution from a Florida and Georgia launch in 2021 toward genuinely nationwide coverage. Under the growth plan the company broadened DLR50 to serve more than 1,500 dealerships across 18 states while maintaining integrations with over 20 dealer management systems, and reduced title and registration turnaround to under five days in many states. The company positions its coverage as spanning all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with fee and tax calculations across more than 13,000 local jurisdictions. As a recent addition to the Apax Digital portfolio, DLRdmv remains in an early phase of its investment cycle, with the operating focus on expanding state licensing, dealer adoption, and product depth.
