Requirements for Obtaining a Motor Vehicle License in Utah
IDS Recommended Checklist
(review each step before beginning process)
□ Education: Each person involved with the dealership as an owner, partner,
corporate officer, or member must attend an eight-hour (8) training seminar. The
original training certificate will need to be provided in order to obtain the license.
This class is highly recommended as a first step so you know what you will be
getting into as a business owner in the automobile industry. If you believe that
this business and dealer license is just about being able to buy and sell
cars, think again. There are lots of laws to abide by and the penalties are
steep. EDUCATION IS RECOMMEDED AS A FIRST STEP BEFORE YOU DO
ANYTHING ELSE TOWARD OBTAINING YOUR LICENSE.
□ Location: A permanent office structure where the dealership records can be
stored and reviewed safely is required. This area cannot be shared with any other
business and must meet all local zoning and business requirements. Permanent
sign at least 24 square feet. The sign must be painted on or permanently affixed
to the building, or cemented in the ground — ABSOLUTELY NO BANNERS. A
display area for at least three vehicles is required. This area must be used for
display only and denoted by a fence, chain or some other approved method. The
sign, office and display area must be contiguous. No other business shall have to
impede this area to get to their location, nor must anyone have to pass through
another business’ area to arrive at the dealership. Please note that all licenses
issued by MVED expire on June 30. Licenses are not prorated.
□ Bonds:
Obtain a surety bond in the amount of $75,000. Motorcycle or small
trailer licenses only require a bond in the amount of $10,000.
□ Proper Paperwork:
See Paperwork Section below
Paperwork Requirements:
□ Application for Dealer License: Fill out the Application for Dealer License (TC301). This must be filled out completely. Use the legal name registered with the
Department of Commerce and under which you will be conducting business. Be
sure to include all names or owners, corporate officers or members and be sure
that each has signed the application. Please note that these signatures are
required to be notarized.
□ FBI Fingerprint Card & Fingerprint Waiver (TC-465):
Complete a standard
FBI Fingerprint Card and a Fingerprint Waiver (TC-465) for each owner,
corporate officer or member. Be certain that each person who submits their
fingerprints signs a waiver and has their signature notarized. The fingerprint
card must be filled out completely, and signed by the applicant and the peace
officer doing the printing or it cannot be accepted. Please note any criminal
conviction for a motor vehicle or drug related crime, fraud or registrable sex
offense could be grounds for denial.
□ Owner(s) Photo: Include a passport-type photo of each owner, partner,
corporate officer or member. The photo should only show the head and
shoulders and must be large enough to see the face clearly. Photos MAY
NOT be smaller than a passport photo, nor larger than a 5 x 7 print. Polaroidtype photos are acceptable if head and shoulders fill the entire frame. Each
photo must be of ONE person. Label each photo with the name of the person
pictured.
□ TC-450: Have your bonding insurance company fill out the Bond of Motor
Vehicle Dealer, Crusher or Body Shop (TC-450). The Company name on the
bond must read EXACTLY as it does on application form TC-301. The bond
must have a revision date of 4/05. After the bonding company completes the
bond, it should be returned to the dealership. An owner, partner, corporate
officer or member must sign the front as “Principle” (line located just above
the insurance agent’s signature on the face of the bond) in front of a notary.
Be certain that the notary signs and seals the back of the bond in the
appropriate section:
If your dealership is an individual proprietorship, the notary seals the fi rst
section.
If your dealership is a partnership, the notary must seal the second
section.
If your dealership is a corporation that chose to use a corporate seal when
validating documents, you must emboss the bond in the designated
position to the left of the notary stamp on the back of the bond. The notary
must seal the third section.
If your dealership is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the notary must
seal the fourth section.
If your dealership is a corporation without a corporate seal, the notary
must seal the fourth section.
The bond company must either have the designated attorney-in-fact sign the
back of the bond in the last section, Affidavit of Qualification or attach a power
of attorney to the bond.
□ Dealership Photo: A photo of the dealership location that shows the sign
must be included with the application. The company name on the sign must
read EXACTLY as it appears on the application and bond. Please be certain
that the sign is legible and permanently attached in the photo, and that the
facility is shown.
□ Franchise Dealers:
Franchise dealers must include a copy of the franchise
agreement.
□ Application for Special Plates & Decals:
In order to obtain dealer plates,
an Application for Special Plates and Decals (TC-142) must be completed
and notarized. Be sure to include insurance information including a policy
number. Initially there is a limit of two plates. If you do not order plates when
applying to become a dealer, it can take 4-6 weeks for future plate orders.
□ Sales Tax Number:
You must secure a sales tax number issued to the
dealership by the Utah State Tax Commission. Submit the application (TC-69)
either by mail or in person to the Utah State Tax Commission at 210 North
1950 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84134. (Before a Utah State Sales Tax
number can be issued you must also have a federal I.D. number for the
dealership.)
Considerations in Obtaining a Dealer License
• After submitting the application packet please allow five to ten working
days for a site inspection.
• After the site passes inspection, you will receive your dealer license within
three to five working days.
• Application packets received that are either incomplete or sent with an
incorrect fee will be returned.
• Licensees who finance their own sales in-house must file notification
under Utah Consumer Credit Code with the Department of Financial
Institutions, located at 324 S. State, Suite 201, SLC Utah 84111 (801)
538-8830.
• Your business information must be filed with the Department of
Commerce at (801) 530-4849. Before registering a name with the
Department of Commerce, please contact MVED at (801) 297-2600.
MVED will not license dealers with similar names, to avoid public
confusion. Names will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• If you are registering as a new motor vehicle or new powersport vehicle
dealer, manufacturer, distributor or other representative of a franchisor,
you may also be required to register with the Department of Commerce
•
•
•
under the New Automobile Franchise Act, Utah Code §13-14-105, or the
New Powersport Vehicle Franchise
Act, Utah Code § 13-35-105. See the following websites:
commerce.utah.gov/mvfranchise.html
commerce.utah.gov/psfranchise.html
or call (801) 530-6431 for more information.
Salespeople must also be licensed. Please contact Motor Vehicle
Enforcement Division for a salesperson packet.
Each owner, partner, corporate officer or member of the dealership is
issued an owner license which allows them to sell.

Temporary License for Special Events
Regardless of whether you have a permanent sales tax license, all
persons or sellers who participate in a one-time event or an event
that runs six months or less where sales occur are required to
obtain a temporary sales tax license.
These special events are generally removed from a seller's usual
location and fall under a variety of situations, including state and
county fairs, festivals, antique shows, gun shows, food shows, art

Reporting and Remittance Guidelines
Always file tax returns by the due date and remit full payment. You
must file a return, even if no taxes are due. Just declare zero tax,
sign and date your return, and file by the due date.
You must file and pay timely, even if you do not receive a preprinted
form. Forms are available online at tax.utah.gov/forms, at all Tax
Commission locations, or by calling the automated forms line at
(801) 297-6700.
If you do not file a return or pay taxes due, you will be sent a tax
delinquency notice and/or contacted. If you disagree with an action
taken by the Tax Commission, you have the right to file an appeal
within 30 days of receiving the notice. See Pub 2, Utah Taxpayer
Bill of Rights, for more information.
