# How to get a Missouri dealer license, step by step > Missouri used car dealer license, step by step: a $50,000 bond, an approved seminar, a Highway Patrol site check and a DOR fee of $150 or less, in order. - Canonical URL: https://www.leftlanesoftware.com/blog/missouri-dealer-license-step-by-step - Language: en-US - Spanish version (Español): https://www.leftlanesoftware.com/blog/como-sacar-la-licencia-de-dealer-en-missouri-paso-a-paso - State: Missouri - Topic: Dealer licensing - Last verified: 2026-11-09 _Last verified: November 9, 2026. Every rule links to its official source._ To sell used cars to the public in Missouri you need a used motor vehicle dealer license from the Department of Revenue (DOR). Plan on a permanent building with a display lot, a Highway Patrol site certification, a pre-licensing seminar, criminal record checks, a [$50,000 surety bond](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560), a garage insurance policy and a [license fee of $150 or less](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf) for the first year. ## The Missouri dealer license at a glance | What | The rule | Source | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | License | Used motor vehicle dealer, issued by DOR | [Form 4682](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/4682.pdf) | | Selling without one | Illegal at 6 or more a calendar year; DOR's manual uses 8; stay under 6 | [RSMo 301.570](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.570) | | License fee | $150 in January, $12.50 less for each later month | [DOR manual](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/Dealer-Operating-Manual.pdf) | | Bond | $50,000, or $100,000 to deliver a car before its title | [RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560) and [301.210](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.210) | | Seminar | Approved seminar within the 12 months before you apply | [DOR: seminar requirements](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/dealers-lienholders/seminar-requirements.html) | | Site | Enclosed building, display lot, 6-inch sign letters, 20 posted hours a week | [RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560); [rule](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf) | | Renewal | Expires December 31; file by November 2; 8 sales a year to renew | [12 CSR 10-26](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf) | ## Do you need a dealer license in Missouri? Yes, if you will sell, or display with an intent to sell, six or more vehicles in a calendar year. [RSMo 301.570](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.570) makes that illegal without a dealer license (vehicles titled in your own name are treated differently). DOR's [Dealer and Business Operating Manual](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/Dealer-Operating-Manual.pdf) uses eight as its licensing benchmark. Stay under six unless licensed. Unlicensed dealing is a class A misdemeanor, and a second or later conviction is a class E felony. Exemptions are in [How many cars can you sell in Missouri without a dealer license?](/blog/how-many-cars-can-you-sell-in-missouri-without-a-dealer-license) ## Which Missouri dealer license do you need? Most new lots need the used dealer license, "Used MV, Powersport Dealer" on Form 4682. [RSMo 301.550](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.550) makes any dealer that is not a new motor vehicle franchise dealer a used dealer. | License | What it allows | The limit | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Used dealer | Sales to the public and to dealers | The seminar, bond, garage policy and site rules apply | | Wholesale dealer | Sales only to franchise or used dealers, or at dealer-only auctions | No retail sales; no seminar, but the $50,000 bond and garage policy still apply | The form has no broker class. ## Step 1: Set up the business Settle the business name first. The seminar certificate, the bond and the application all carry it. - **Secretary of State.** Form 4682 asks for your registration number if your type of ownership requires one. - **Sales tax number.** Register with DOR for a sales tax number; cities and counties ask for it. Tax is also due on [parts you sell](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/Dealer-Operating-Manual.pdf). ## Step 2: Find a location that meets the place-of-business rules The site rules come from [RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560), [rule 12 CSR 10-26.010](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf) and DOR's manual. Check them before you sign a lease. - **Building.** A permanent enclosed building you own or lease, actually occupied and primarily used for the business, in whole or in a clearly designated and segregated part. - **Display lot.** A lot, not a public street, "of sufficient size", with unencumbered visibility from the nearest public street. An enclosed garage does not qualify. - **Sign.** A permanent exterior sign with letters at least 6 inches high. A banner is not acceptable; a temporary sign is allowed with a copy of the sign order. - **Hours.** At least 20 posted hours a week, on at least four of the six days from Monday to Saturday. Only hours between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. count. - **Phone, email and photos.** A working phone for the registration year, an email address, and a photo of the building, lot and sign between 5 by 7 and 8 by 10 inches. - **Trailer offices.** A travel trailer or manufactured home used as the office must be anchored to the ground with the wheels removed. - **Storage.** A storage lot is allowed if you tell DOR in writing and make no sales there. If the place of business is not maintained, you must notify DOR within 10 days. **Sundays.** A licensed dealer may not keep its place of business open for buying, selling or trading vehicles on Sunday ([RSMo 578.120](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=578.120)). The exceptions cover qualifying shows and some vehicle types, such as RVs and motorcycles. A violation is a class C misdemeanor. **A home.** We found no Missouri statute or DOR rule that bans a dealership at a home. The building, display-lot and hours rules still apply, and a home generally cannot meet them. A trade group, the Missouri Independent Automobile Dealers Association (MOIADA), answers "Can I sell vehicles from my home?" with no in its [FAQ](https://www.moiada.com/faq). Ask DOR and your city's zoning office before you plan on it. ## Step 3: Clear the city and the county Form 4682 asks for no zoning approval, local business license or sales tax item, so the local approvals are yours: zoning, a city business license and a county merchant's license. [RSMo 150.100](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=150.100) makes dealing as a merchant without a license a misdemeanor, and in the counties we checked the county collector issues it. | Where | Zoning and occupancy | Business license and fees | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Kansas City | A free [Zoning Clearance Letter](https://bizcare.kcmo.gov/kcmobusinesslicense) confirms the use is permitted at the property, in 1 to 2 business days online. A change of occupancy classification needs a Missouri-registered architect's or engineer's code analysis ([Bulletin 139](https://www.kcmo.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/15766/638973328848570000)). | Auto dealers pay by gross receipts on [Table 129](https://kcmo.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/11684/638336496833300000), $35 to $10,000 (2023 tables). File Form RD-105 [within 60 days of opening](https://www.kcmo.gov/city-hall/departments/finance/tax-home/tax-guide-for-wholesalers); renew by the last day of February. We found no Jackson County merchant license page. | | St. Louis City | An Occupancy Permit from the Building Division is one of the [license steps](https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/license/new-business-license/apply-business-license.cfm). | [Graduated Business License](https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/license/business-license-info/graduated-business-license-information-and-fees-schedule.cfm): $200, or $100 if you start after January 1 through May 31. A state sales tax number comes first. [City Auto Dealer Tags](https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/license/business-license-info/-gbl-businesses-having-additional-requirements.cfm) cost $2.50 each, one per state dealer plate. | | St. Louis County | We found no official county page. | Call the city hall where the lot sits, or the county for an unincorporated site. | | Springfield and Greene County | Commercial applicants complete a "Zoning Approval" page, reviewed by Building Development Services. | City [license](https://mo-springfield.civicplus.com/6002/Obtain-a-Springfield-Business-License) at least 2 weeks before you open; [auto dealers](https://mo-springfield.civicplus.com/2171/Business-License-Applications) prove a bond and/or insurance.

[Boone County merchant license](https://www.boonemo.gov/collector/merchant.asp): $25 a year. | No official source we read names the zoning district or use category for vehicle sales in these five areas. Before you sign a lease, ask the planning office four things. Are vehicle sales permitted at this address, and under what use name? Is an outdoor display lot allowed? Does the building need a new certificate of occupancy? What permit does a permanent sign need? ## Step 4: Take the pre-licensing seminar A first-time used dealer applicant must complete an approved educational seminar within the 12 months before applying ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)). DOR's provider form, [Form 5110](https://DOR.MO.GOV/forms/5110.pdf), says it must be at least 4 hours. The certificate is issued in the name of the potential dealership. DOR's [seminar page](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/dealers-lienholders/seminar-requirements.html) lists three approved providers: MOIADA, Missouri Dealer Seminars and Accredited Missouri Dealer Training. DOR publishes no price and does not address online attendance. MOIADA [describes](https://www.moiada.com/) a self-paced online course with an immediate certificate and no membership needed; [Missouri Dealer Seminars](http://www.missouridealerseminars.com/) teaches online and in person in St. Louis and Kansas City. Exempt: wholesale dealers, new franchise and franchise powersport dealers, wholesale and retail auto auctions, used dealers licensed before August 28, 2006, and applicants who already hold a new or used dealer license for a separate dealership. ## Step 5: Have the Highway Patrol certify the site A uniformed Highway Patrol member, or a designee, in your troop area certifies the place of business ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)). The certification is Form 5748, filed with your application ([Form 4682](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/4682.pdf)). - In a first-class county, an authorized city police officer employed in the same city may complete it. - A sheriff or marshal may not. - The certification repeats every year for the first three years, then every other year. Finish the sign, lot and posted hours before the visit. ## Step 6: Run the criminal record checks Each owner, partner or principal officer needs a criminal record issued within six months of the license being issued ([Form 4682](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/4682.pdf)). Missouri residents get a name-based record from the Highway Patrol; out-of-state residents get one from their own state. No fingerprints are required. A name-based search on the Patrol's MACHS system costs [$16 plus a small convenience fee](https://www.machs.mo.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/crimRecChk.html). The [MACHS FAQ](https://www.machs.mo.gov/MocchWebInterface/faq.html) says results stay viewable for 90 days; DOR's manual says 30. Run the MACHS check shortly before you file and save a PDF of the result. The good moral character rule, [12 CSR 10-26.221](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf), lists prima facie grounds for denial. They include any past felony related to acquiring or transferring vehicles, trailers, parts or boats; any felony within five years; certain misdemeanors within three years; and a prior revocation. At a hearing you may show "substantial rehabilitation". ## Step 7: Buy the bond and the garage policy **The bond.** A used dealer must file a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit "in the penal sum of fifty thousand dollars" on a DOR-approved form ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)). You buy it from a surety company and pay the premium it quotes, not the $50,000. No official source publishes a premium, so get quotes. The bond is $100,000 if you will deliver a car before handing over its title. Without a written agreement to deliver the title within 30 days, a sale where the assigned title does not pass at delivery is presumed fraudulent and void ([RSMo 301.210](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.210)). You must file the $100,000 bond before any such agreement is outstanding. Miss the 30 days and the buyer may void the sale for a full refund, trade-in allowance included. DOR [checks bonds monthly](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/dealers-lienholders/documents/Dealer-Newsletter-December-2025.pdf) and requires coverage without any lapse. The bond name should match your business name and any DBA. **The garage policy.** Used dealers must carry one ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)). Neither the statute nor Form 4682 sets minimum limits. The [manual](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/Dealer-Operating-Manual.pdf) points to sections 302.281 and 303.024 to 303.044 for financial responsibility, so ask your agent what applies. ## Step 8: File Form 4682 with DOR DOR's rule requires applications through its online business licensing portal ([12 CSR 10-26.230](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf)), though [Form 4682](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/4682.pdf) still lists a mailing address. The packet: 1. Form 4682, and Form 5748 from the Highway Patrol. 2. The original $50,000 or $100,000 bond or letter of credit. 3. Criminal records for each owner, partner or principal officer. 4. Photos of the building, lot and sign (a temporary sign plus its work order is accepted). 5. A copy of the garage policy, and the seminar certificate unless you are exempt. 6. Your Secretary of State registration number if required, and a postal letter only for a separate mail-to address. **Fees.** License and plate fees are in the cost table below. You may get up to two dealer plates at first ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)), a third after your 15th qualified transaction, then one more for each 10 qualified transactions a year. New applicants may get up to three temporary dealer plates valid for 30 days. Questions: (573) 526-3669, option 7, or dealerlic@dor.mo.gov. ## Step 9: Wait for approval before you buy or sell DOR must decide to grant or deny within eight working hours after it receives a complete application ([RSMo 301.560](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560)). We found no official estimate for the whole process; earlier steps set your pace. Until approval, you may not buy or sell any motor vehicle ([Form 4682](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/4682.pdf)). Your business certificate or dealer plates are the proof of approval. You can [set up your lot in LeftLane while you wait](https://sandbox.leftlanesoftware.com/signup) or [book a LeftLane demo](https://meetings.hubspot.com/greg954/leftlane-request-demo?uuid=b03d2fbc-01be-4deb-8a2a-bf6c5ff6943d), so your first deal is not also your first day with new software. ## What does a Missouri dealer license cost? DOR's fees are small. Private companies price the bond, the garage policy and the seminar. | Item | Cost | Who sets it | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | One-year license | $150 in January, $12.50 less each later month, $12.50 in December | [DOR rule](https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/adrules/csr/current/12csr/12c10-26.pdf) and [manual](https://dor.mo.gov/forms/Dealer-Operating-Manual.pdf) | | Two-year license, after 3 years | $300 in January, down to $162.50 in December | DOR manual | | Dealer plates | $50 for the first; $10.50 each for the second and third; prorated by the month mid-year | [State law](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.560) | | MACHS record | $16 per name plus a small convenience fee | [Highway Patrol](https://www.machs.mo.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/crimRecChk.html) | | Seminar | Not published by DOR | The provider | | Bond and garage policy | Quoted privately | The surety and the insurer | | City and county | Kansas City from $35 (2023 table); St. Louis City $200 or $100; Columbia $45 plus at least $75; Boone County $25 | Local government; see Step 3 | No total appears, because premiums, rent and inventory vary. ## After the license: renewal and the dates that matter A Missouri license expires every December 31, and renewal depends on what you do from your first sale. - **The 15th of each month.** DOR must receive your sales report by the 15th, even for a month with no sales ([RSMo 301.280](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.280)). DOR's manual sets a $300 penalty for a late or incomplete report and will not renew while one is due. - **November 2.** File your renewal by November 2 to avoid the $25 fee; after December 31 the fee is $50. - **December 31.** You may not conduct business after December 31, 2026 unless your renewal is approved, says DOR's [November 2026 newsletter](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/dealers-lienholders/documents/Dealer-Newsletter-November-2026.pdf). - **8 sales.** You must document at least 8 sales in the last year licensed, prorated for a partial first year, or you cannot renew for one year. - **Each renewal.** A criminal record issued within six months, the bond, the garage policy and the Highway Patrol certification on its schedule. DOR now issues expiration tabs instead of new plates. - **After 3 years.** You get a two-year license when you renew at the end of your third year. We found no continuing-education requirement for renewal, and no salesperson license in the sources we checked. The whole path is in [How to start a used car dealership in Missouri](/blog/how-to-start-a-used-car-dealership-in-missouri). To carry your own customers' notes, the [Division of Finance](https://finance.mo.gov/consumer-credit-licensing/motor-vehicle-time-sales) says a dealer may hold and collect its own contracts without a license; a finance company you set up to buy them needs a Motor Vehicle Time Sales license. See [Financing your own sales in Missouri](/blog/missouri-buy-here-pay-here-financing-rules). Title, tax and record duties are in [After the sale in Missouri, and who can inspect you](/blog/missouri-dealer-after-the-sale-and-inspections). ## What trips people up - **Counting to eight.** The statute bars six or more sales a year without a license, even though DOR's manual uses eight. - **A banner or a garage.** A banner is not a permanent sign, and an enclosed garage does not count as a display area. - **Opening on Sunday.** It is a class C misdemeanor for a licensed dealer. - **A bond that lapses.** The statute treats it as a "clear and present danger", so the director may suspend or revoke your license after a hearing on at least 10 days' notice ([RSMo 301.562](https://www.revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=301.562)). - **Delivering before the title without the $100,000 bond.** The sale is presumed fraudulent and void. - **Missing the 8-sale minimum.** You cannot renew for one year. ## What changed recently - **February 2027 (announced).** FUSION, DOR's new titling system, is announced for February 2027. Today most buyers pay sales tax at the license office; dealers will then process title, registration and tax in a MyDMV Business Account, keep 2 percent of the tax and have it pulled by ACH [10 business days after the sale](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/fusion-rollout/October-2026-Dealer-FUSION-Newsletter.pdf). Dealers must set up a FUSION ACH account before rollout. - **November 2026.** DOR's November newsletter calls this year's renewal the last in DMV Connect, and renewals now bring expiration tabs instead of new plates. - **November 9, 2026.** DOR announced that its FUSION sandbox, a test environment, would open to all remaining licensed entities. - **July 2, 2026.** Online renewal opened. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I run a Missouri car dealership from my home? We found no Missouri statute or DOR rule that bans a home-based dealer. The rules still require a permanent enclosed building primarily used for the business, a street-visible display lot (not an enclosed garage), a permanent sign and 20 posted hours a week. A home generally cannot meet them. ### How long does it take to get a Missouri dealer license? DOR must decide within eight working hours after it receives a complete application. The steps before that set the pace: the seminar, the Highway Patrol site certification, the criminal records and local approvals. Kansas City's zoning clearance takes 1 to 2 business days online, and Springfield requires its license at least 2 weeks before you open. ### Does every applicant need the Missouri pre-licensing seminar? No. First-time used dealer applicants need it within the 12 months before applying, and DOR's provider form sets at least 4 hours. Wholesale dealers, new franchise dealers, auctions, used dealers licensed before August 28, 2006, and applicants who already hold a dealer license for a separate dealership are exempt. ### Why does the Missouri bond say $50,000 or $100,000? $50,000 is the standard bond for a used dealer. You need $100,000 before you deliver any car on a written agreement to hand over the title within 30 days. Without that agreement, a sale where the assigned title does not pass at delivery is presumed fraudulent and void. ### When do Missouri dealer licenses expire? Every December 31. File your renewal by November 2 to avoid the $25 fee; after December 31 the fee is $50. To renew you need at least 8 sales in the last year licensed, prorated for a partial year, plus a current bond, garage policy and criminal record. ### Can I buy cars at a dealer auction after the seminar? No. Form 4682 says that until DOR approves your application you may not buy or sell any motor vehicle. The seminar certificate is one item in the application, not a license. Your business certificate or dealer plates are the proof that you are approved. ## Your next step Get the one-page [Missouri dealer license checklist](/blog/missouri-dealer-license-step-by-step): every form, fee and office from this guide in the order you will need them, sent to your inbox.
