NOTICE to Dealer Members

Dealers are no longer required to send certified letters to customers informing them that the DC DMV has rejected the tag and title application made on their behalf by the dealer for a vehicle purchase because of motor vehicle violations on the customer's record. The responsibility is squarely on the customer to clear up any outstanding issues with the DC DMV and get their used vehicle inspection.

To assist dealers in this process, WANADA has prepared a camera ready handout, which you can download from this site, for member dealers that details the responsibilities of DC residents and makes it clear that it is not the dealer's responsibility for getting inspections done in DC.

Dealers are free to continue to offer these services to their customers, but they are not required to do so.

NOTICE

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA — DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES

 

Purchase of 30-Day Temporary and Temporary Transport Plates

 

Due to recent problems with the fraudulent application for, and use of, 30-day temporary and temporary transport plates, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will implement a revised process for purchasing these plates and a revised Dealer Application for Temporary Registration/Transport Plates (DSD - 4). You should have received a copy of the revised form in the mail. You are authorized to make photocopies of the form. It is also available on DMV's web site and on the web site of the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (MVDB).  [Click on the "Dealer/Salesperson Info" button, then click on the "Forms" button or simply click on this hotlink:

 

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA — DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES
DEALER APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY REGISTRATION/TRANSPORT PLATES

 

The new measures are designed to help prevent unauthorized persons from purchasing plates by using your dealership information. The significant differences are:

  • DMV/MVDB will no longer accept cash, a non-dealer check, or a non-dealer credit card for payment. Payment must be made with a dealership imprinted check or a credit card in the dealership's name.

  • The individual authorized by the dealership to pick up these plates will be required to show a valid driver's license. Our teller will note on the application the individual's driver's license number and the state that issued it.

  • Effective April 8, 2004, only the revised application form and types of payment noted above will be accepted.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Ms. JeAnne Marshall, at (804) 367-1833.
