Dealer Educational Seminar Requirements
Missouri Senate Bill 747 requires all used motor vehicle dealers applying for a motor vehicle dealer’s license to provide proof of attending a Dealer Educational Seminar.
If you are going to sell cars, trucks, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, historic motor vehicles, classic motor vehicles in addition to motorcycles, ATV's and personal watercraft, you will need to complete the Dealer Educational Seminar.
If you will only be selling motorcycles, ATV's, and personal watercraft, you do not need to attend the Dealer Educational Seminar. Be advised a Powersport dealer license will not allow you to sell any other type of motor vehicle.
The following dealer types are exempt from the Dealer Educational Seminar requirement:
- Used motor vehicle dealers licensed prior to August 28, 2006
- New motor vehicle franchise dealers
- Wholesale dealers
- Wholesale and retail auto auctions
- Public auto auctions
- Dealers who already own a separately licensed dealership
- Powersport dealers (As a Powersport only dealer you will only be allowed to buy & sell motorcycles, ATV's and personal watercraft, you will not be allowed to sell any other type of motor vehicle)
If you are required to attend a Dealer Educational Seminar, you must have attended an approved seminar within the last twelve months of applying for the dealer license. A Certificate of Completion issued by the Dealer Educational Seminar provider must be included with your application when you send it to the Department of Revenue.
