Change of Officer

Dealers who may need to add or delete an officer from their license should review the following requirements. Please allow 30-45 days for application review and processing.


Dealer License

The state requires that a change of officer form, fingerprinting and letter detailing the change be submitted.

Repair Facility License

The state requires that a change of officer form be submitted.

Bond

If adding a new owner to the dealership please contact your bonding company.  A new bond may be required.

Corporate forms

This form is required if you change your resident agent.

Installment Seller License

A letter detailing the change must be prepared.  (Note: if there is only one officer on the current license and that person dies, retires or needs to be removed, the state requires a new license. Therefore this letter would not be required.)
