AGENT ALERT! CRESPA Registration Changes
Due to 2009 legislation passed, beginning on July 1, 2009, title insurance agents and companies will no longer register or renew with the Bar, but will instead be required to register and renew with the Bureau of Insurance.
The Bureau is implementing a biennial renewal process that will require all the title insurance agents and companies to renew with the Bureau on or before June 30 of each even year beginning in 2010.
What you need to know….
*** Renewal notices will be mailed by April 1
*** Renewal Registration must be filed with the Bureau NOT the Bar on or before June 30 (the BOI states that an online renewal process will be available soon).
*** The fee for Agency Registration and Renewal is $100.
*** The fee for Agent Registration and Renewal is $35.
Failure to renew will result in termination of the title settlement registration.

Who We Are
Virginia Land Title Association, founded in 1974, is the state trade association for the land title industry. VLTA members search, review and insure home buyers and mortgage lenders who invest in real estate.
VLTA members are agents, abstractors, examiners, underwriters, attorneys, and others who assist in the selection of a title insurance policy to protect land ownership. Agents perform the settlement or closing in the purchase of residential or commercial real estate.
VLTA members advocate safe and efficient transfer of title and insist on high standards when searching land title records and preparing insurance documents. The industry seeks to eliminate risk before insuring, which provides the insured with the best possible chance of avoiding land title problems. But, title difficulties do occur, and members offer both owner’s and lender’s title insurance as effective safeguards.
Our Mission
The mission of the Association is to advance the efficient and secure transfer of ownership of real property by proactively serving its members, the consumer, and affiliated associations.
To achieve this objective, VLTA will:
- Provide superior education programs
- Represent the industry on legislative and regulatory issues
- Support the American Land Title Association and its initiative to continually maintain and promote members to engage only in business practices that are lawful and consistent with high professional standards and ethics
- Communicate industry related information
- Fairly represent all interests of the membership
- Enhance and protect the value of its members, consumers, and the title industry as a whole
- Raise public awareness and understanding of the land title industry
