Policy

Revenue collected on behalf of Registries through MOVES Front Counter Operation and Catch Up Counter Operation modes is accumulated in registry agent clerk electronic cash drawers. For services where the seniors’ discount applies, MOVES will track the full amount of the service without the discount. MOVES does not track registry agent service fees.

A clerk must print a copy of their MOVES cash drawer display screen daily. The total dollar amount displayed must balance to the total dollar value:

• Collected in Front Counter Operation mode.
• Of the manual documents entered in Catch Up Counter Operation mode (if applicable).
• Of US funds collected (if applicable).

Every business day each clerk’s cash drawer must be balanced and electronically transferred to the registry agent office cash drawer. A screen print of the clerk’s transfer cash drawer transfer must be taken and, if applicable, an explanation justifying the use of Catch Up Counter Operation mode processing must be recorded.

Note:
The clerk’s cash drawer must not be electronically transferred when it does not balance. Contact Registries Assurance for assistance. 

When the clerk’s electronic transfer has been completed the registry agent must retain the following prints for audit purposes:

• The screen print of the clerk’s transfer cash drawer.
  and
• The cash drawer display screen showing a zero balance.
