How to search dealer, repairer, leasing company or manufacturer for their DMV business license

When searching to verify if a dealer, repairer, leasing company or manufacturer is on this list, search by license number (N123, U12, R45 etc.) or business location (123 Main Street or Hartford). If you are searching the list in Excel, you may have to save it to your computer before this feature will work.

Type of business

License numbers include specific letters to indicate type of business:

  • O is for leasing company
  • J is for recycler (salvage/junkyard)
  • L is for a limited repair shop
  • N is for a new car dealer
  • U is for a used car dealer
  • R is for a general repair shop
  • M is for manufacturer  

Note: Many dealership and repair shop licenses are issued in a business name but the facility may be doing business in another name (have a DBA = Doing Business As). For example, XYZ Corporation may be doing business as Joe’s Garage. The address of Joe’s Garage will be on the list but the license will be in the XYZ Corporation name.
