Change of Address

Dealers who would like to change their address should be aware of the following information.  The State of Michigan requires that these steps be taken. Please allow 30-45 days for application review and processing.


Dealer License & Repair Facility

The state requires that an application be submitted, along with dealer zoning approval. The state will also require a pre-license inspection. If changing branch offices also complete the designation form. The owner will need to sign the forms.

Also prepare a letter explaining you are changing your business address.  Note the effective date, include the license number and have the letter signed by the owner.

Original Installment Seller License

The original license should be provided along with a letter explaining the change, signed by the owner.  Also note the license number.  Include a $10.00 check for the amendment fee, made payable to the State of Michigan.

A new license is required if you change your municipality.

Uniform Vehicle Dealer Surety Bond

Notify your insurance company if there is any change to your corporate name or address.  This situation will require a bond rider with the State of Michigan.
