Bulletin | January 14, 2026

Updated:

To: All Interested Business Partners
From: Central Operations
CC: Natasha Jones, Director, Central Operations
Date: December 20, 2024

PURPOSE
To advise all interested Business Partners of the changes in Customer Connect which allow business accounts to select the preferred address for certain letters and notices. This functionality builds on prior development work on garage addresses. Phase 1 allowed for adding and updating garage addresses, and Phase 2 allowed business accounts to bulk assign addresses on their accounts. The garage address is in addition to the physical and mailing addresses.

SUMMARY

  1. Administrative Flag Fee Invoice
  2. Flag Notice
  3. Registration Renewal Notice
  4. VEIP Inspection Notice
  5. VEIP Suspension Notice.
