• Valid supplemental dealer identification card (for the dealer/repairer plate displayed on the vehicle).
• Vehicle ownership/lease documents.
• Copy of a valid dealer’s/repairer’s license (includes limited repairer).
  
  • Inspectors will verify dealer’s/repair’s license for validity, bond and insurance by placing a call to D&R Division. The R-294 Form will be noted after confirmation across the upper right corner with the wording "Bond & Ins OK" with the Inspector’s punch mark until a revised form can be used.
