Purging MVRs from Applied Rating Services

During the auto quote process in AutoRater, Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) reports are ordered and received on drivers to validate the risk data upon the client’s acceptance. When a policy is no longer contracted (the policy is cancelled, non-renewed, etc.), to meet the requirement from Ministry Transportation Organization of Ontario (MTO), MVR reports must be removed within 30 days of the policy termination/expiry date.  

This document will guide you through removing MVR reports from the system to ensure that you meet this contract requirement of purging MVRs from the system. The purging of the MVRs is completed by the administrator of your organization through the Reports Maintenance Utility. When using the Reports Maintenance Utility, keep in mind that MVRs are permanently deleted from the system, accessing the utility will lock all users out of the system, and all users must be logged out of the system to run the purge. It is recommended to run the Purge during a maintenance window to allow it to run without interruption.
