# How to get a New Jersey dealer license, step by step > Get a New Jersey dealer license: town approval on Form BLS-162, a 72 sq ft office, fingerprints, a $10,000 bond and a $200 fee (MVC forms say $100). - Canonical URL: https://www.leftlanesoftware.com/blog/new-jersey-dealer-license-step-by-step - Language: en-US - Spanish version (Español): https://www.leftlanesoftware.com/blog/como-sacar-la-licencia-de-dealer-en-new-jersey-paso-a-paso - State: New Jersey - Topic: Dealer licensing - Last verified: 2026-11-09 _Last verified: November 9, 2026. Every rule links to its official source._ To sell used cars in New Jersey you need a [used car dealership license](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/dealership.htm) from the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), and your town must sign [Form BLS-162](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Zoning_Application.pdf) first. Plan on a 72-square-foot office with display space for 2 cars, fingerprints for every officer, a $10,000 surety bond and liability insurance. The [statute](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM) sets the license fee at $200; the MVC's forms still say $100. ## The New Jersey dealer license at a glance | What | The rule | Source | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | License | Used car dealership, from the MVC's Business Licensing Services Bureau | [MVC: dealership licensing](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/dealership.htm) | | Town approval | Form BLS-162, signed and sealed by the municipal clerk | [MVC: Form BLS-162](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Zoning_Application.pdf) | | Office and display | At least 72 square feet in a permanent enclosed building; display for at least 2 cars | [MVC rules, N.J.A.C. 13:21-15.4](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) | | Hours | At least 48 a week, or 20 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday | [MVC used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf) | | Fingerprints | Every officer, director, controlling person or partner | [MVC: Form BLS-163](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Fingerprint_Request_Notification_Form.pdf) | | Surety bond | $10,000 in favor of the State of New Jersey | [MVC used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf) | | License fee | $200 in the statute; $100 on MVC forms. Budget $200 | [P.L.2021, c.484](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM) | | Term | 24 months from the date of issue | [P.L.2021, c.484](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM) | ## Do you need a dealer license in New Jersey? Yes, if you are in the business of selling cars. The law says "No person shall engage in the business of buying, selling or dealing in motor vehicles in this State" without a license ([P.L.2021, c.484](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM)). New Jersey's definition of a used car dealer refers to four or more used vehicles a year ([P.L.2021, c.462](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/462_.HTM)), but anyone in the business of selling cars needs a license. Do not rely on a sales count to stay unlicensed. Dealing without a license can be charged as a fourth-degree crime when done purposely or knowingly ([P.L.2003, c.217](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2002/PL03/217_.HTM)). See [How many cars can you sell in New Jersey without a dealer license?](/blog/how-many-cars-can-you-sell-in-new-jersey-without-a-dealer-license) ## Which New Jersey dealer license do you need? Most new lots need the used car dealership license, one of four [MVC dealership types](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/dealership.htm). | License | Who it fits | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Used car dealership | Independent and buy here pay here lots | | New and used car dealership | New-car dealers; a new vehicle dealer needs [at least 1,000 square feet](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) | | Leasing dealership | Leasing companies; a lease-end sale to anyone but the lessee [needs a used car license](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/462_.HTM) | | Boat dealership | Boat dealers | None of the four is a wholesale-only, auction or salvage license. If you plan to sell only to dealers, ask the MVC which license applies. ## Step 1: Set up the business and register for sales tax The MVC wants proof the business exists. Have these ready: - Formation papers and, if you trade under another name, the alternate-name certificate. - A federal employer identification number (FEIN). - A New Jersey Sales Tax Certificate of Authority: register on Form NJ-REG at least 15 business days before you start business ([Division of Taxation guide S&U-4](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/sales/su4.pdf)). Out-of-state corporations and LLCs also need a Treasury certificate of authority ([used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf)). Settle the business name first: the MVC wants the bond and the landline bill [in that name](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/newuseddeal.htm). ## Step 2: Find a location that meets the MVC's place-of-business rules The MVC's [rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) and [New and Used Dealer page](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/newuseddeal.htm) require: - **Office.** At least 72 square feet in a permanent enclosed building, with a desk, chair, working safe, file cabinet, climate controls and a secured area for MVC documents. - **Phone and email.** A "landline telephone" with the bill in the business name, and a dealership email monitored throughout the day. - **Display.** Fixed facilities for at least 2 cars. Some cities ask for more. - **Sign.** Permanently affixed, legible from the roadway and consistent with local ordinances. No banners. - **Hours.** At least 48 a week, or 20 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday, listed on Form BLS-19. A licensee or authorized signatory must be present during posted hours. - **Lease.** At least 12 months, never month-to-month, running through the date the license is set to expire ([used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf)). Call forwarding, answering services and mail forwarding during posted hours are grounds for discipline. **Sharing a site.** The MVC grants [no license](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf) on the premises of a currently licensed dealer. A building shared with another business needs walls or a firewall meeting Section 706 of the 2009 International Building Code, New Jersey Edition, certified by a licensed engineer, architect or municipal code official. ### Can you sell cars online or from home in New Jersey? You can sell online from a licensed New Jersey location, but not from home. Since January 18, 2022, [P.L.2021, c.462](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/462_.HTM) has let a licensee "conduct online sales of motor vehicles anywhere in this State". The conditions: keep a location that meets the place-of-business minimum, keep electronic records open to immediate inspection, and sell online only your own inventory or a licensed parent's or affiliate's. The MVC's posted rule text, dated 2017, still lists internet negotiations outside a licensed location as a disciplinary ground, and a [2023 proposal](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/about/PRN%202023-064%20%2855%20N.J.R.%201367%28a%29.pdf) to update it shows no adoption on the MVC's [rulemaking page](https://nj.gov/mvc/about/rules.htm). Plan on the statute: licensed dealers may sell online statewide from their licensed base, and selling from an unlicensed lot or from home is still prohibited. ## Step 3: Get your town's approval on Form BLS-162 In New Jersey the town signs off before the state acts. The MVC will not license you without [Form BLS-162](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Zoning_Application.pdf), on which the municipal clerk certifies under seal that "the Municipal Governing Body or Zoning Commission has approved" the location. Behind that form, a new lot normally needs zoning approval for auto sales, a certificate of occupancy, a sign permit, fire-code registration where required, and any city license. We found no county dealer license. You should settle zoning before you sign the lease. | City | Zoning and occupancy | City license | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Newark | Auto sales is a [conditional use](https://ecode360.com/36711743): apply first to the Central Planning Board. The city requires a fully enclosed sales building and a showroom for at least 3 cars, stricter than the state's 2. | A [used-car lot license](https://ecode360.com/36678404): $0.02 per square foot, $1,000 minimum, expiring every 2 years. The section also refers to an "annual fee", so confirm the amount. | | Jersey City | Confirm the use with the zoning map or a Zoning Determination Letter; applications are online only. The [Division of Zoning](https://jerseycity.hosted.civiclive.com/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/Zoning) lists a non-residential fee of $250 for the first 5,000 square feet plus $50 per extra 1,000; a [2021 checklist](https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6189660/File/City%20Hall/Housing%20Economic%20Development/Zoning/2021%20Zoning%20Applications/Zoning_Certificate_of_Occupancy_Application.pdf) shows other amounts, so confirm. | The [Division of Commerce](https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/commerce) lists a "Used Cars" license; we found no fee. | | Paterson | The Zoning Officer must issue or deny a zoning permit within 10 business days, and a use not listed for the zone is denied ([Chapter 483, 2016 text](https://www.patersonnj.gov/egov/documents/1463422578_02635.pdf)). | Not confirmed for dealers; ask the city. | | Elizabeth | We could not read Elizabeth's rules, so we print none. Ask the zoning office and city clerk; the city posts its [ordinances](https://www.elizabethnj.org/272/City-Ordinances). | Not confirmed | | Trenton | A zoning permit from the Zoning Officer, then a certificate of use and occupancy from the Construction Official ([Chapter 315](https://www.ecode360.com/9134222)). | The city's [2012 ordinance](https://trentonnj.org/DocumentCenter/View/4042/2012-BUSINESS-LICENSE-ORDINANCE) lists $500 a year for a vehicle lot and requires an active state license, so it comes after the MVC license. | ## Step 4: Mail the application packet to the MVC The [used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf) carries checklist BLC-3 (R8/25) and asks you to mail: - **Forms:** the Application for a Dealer License, BLC-205B, BLS-43 (child support certification), BLS-163 (fingerprint request), BLS-19 (hours), BLS-20 (signature card), BLS-162 (town approval) and BLS-158 (building type). - **Documents:** a driver license, formation papers and any alternate-name certificate, your FEIN, the deed or lease, the Sales Tax Certificate of Authority, a landline bill, and photos or plans. Authorized signatories on BLS-20 must be employees, shown with a W-2, W-4 or pay stubs; report changes within 10 days. The MVC's dealer page also links an online request form, so ask whether yours can go that way. MVC materials show three P.O. boxes, so use the address printed on the form you are mailing. Questions: (609) 633-6617. The fee is not paid with the packet. ## Step 5: Get fingerprinted when the MVC tells you to Each officer, director, controlling person or partner is fingerprinted. After the MVC receives [Form BLS-163](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Fingerprint_Request_Notification_Form.pdf), it mails each person a fingerprint application, and the state-approved vendor takes a live scan. The MVC is blunt: "The processing of your business application will not begin until all receipts are received." You pay for the background check under [the statute](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM); the forms name no price, so ask when you book. ## Step 6: Pass the MVC's review, interview and site inspection The MVC inspects your site before it approves you. Its [rule 15.2](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) also provides for an interview on New Jersey dealer law with the applicant or an officer, director or controlling person, and the Commission may require a training program if your knowledge falls short. No pre-licensing course is required, and we found no continuing education requirement. Before the inspection, you should furnish the office, connect the landline and put up the sign. ## Step 7: Send the bond and insurance, then pay the fees **The bond.** $10,000 "in favor of the State of New Jersey", from a surety authorized in New Jersey, in the business name and address ([used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf)). A surety bond is a guarantee you buy from an insurance company. The original goes to the MVC after preliminary approval. Its end date is tied to the year your license is set to expire, so match the date the packet prints. The Used Car Lemon Law separately requires a $10,000 dealer bond, renewed every 12 months, before the MVC issues or renews a license ([N.J.S.A. 56:8-77](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/54260/54564?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). The MVC's pages do not say whether that is the same bond, so ask. **The insurance.** The MVC's [rule 15.2](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf), packet and [web page](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/newuseddeal.htm) set these minimums: | Coverage | Minimum | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Bodily injury or death | $100,000 per person, up to $250,000 per incident | | Property damage | $25,000 in the rule, the packet cover letter and the web page; $50,000 on checklist BLC-3. Buy at least $50,000. | | Combined | $250,000 per incident | The certificate names the MVC, P.O. Box 168, as holder, carries a 30-day cancellation clause and lists the total number of plates covered. **The fees.** The statute sets a $200 license fee; the MVC's own forms still quote $100. Budget $200 plus $257.50 for a set of 5 dealer plates, and confirm the amount when the MVC sends its payment request. Pay by certified check or money order. ## Step 8: Apply separately to issue temporary tags The dealer license alone does not let you print temporary tags. Under [P.L.2023, c.285](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2022/PL23/285_.HTM), you file a separate application with proof of a secure storage and printing area, the fee the chief administrator sets, and proof you finished a training course the chief administrator approved. We found no published course details or fee, so ask the MVC. You then enroll in [eTemp](https://www.njportal.com/temptags) and print on security paper from an approved vendor. The rules: - **One temporary plate per bona fide sale**, with the title or certificate of origin in hand and insurance confirmed. It lasts 30 days or until the permanent registration arrives. - **Fines on the dealer** of $2,500 for a first offense and $5,000 after, with each certificate a separate offense. - **Records for 3 years**, including the buyer's driver license, bill of sale, proof of insurance and the printer's static IP address. - **The four-sale rule.** Selling or leasing fewer than 4 New Jersey-registered vehicles in your first 12 months, or any 12 months after, ends your right to issue temporary registrations or keep dealer plates ([MVC rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf)). ## Step 9: Add the DOBI license if you will finance your own sales Financing your own customers needs a second license: the Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) [Motor Vehicle Installment Seller license](https://www.nj.gov/dobi/banklicensing/motvehinstsell.html), required when an MVC-licensed dealer signs retail installment sales contracts. The [paper application](https://www.nj.gov/dobi/banklicensing/mvisapp.pdf) takes a $300 non-refundable fee, a financial statement or start-up balance sheet, a copy of your MVC license and a New Jersey office, so this step comes last. Every license [expires June 30, 2027](https://nj.gov/dobi/bankdedfund/ded_motorvehinstall.htm) and renews online at no fee, and an annual report is due May 1 under N.J.A.C. 3:23-4.1. Operating without it can cost up to $1,000 per offense ([DOBI order](https://www.nj.gov/dobi/division_banking/ocf/enforcement/2022/OCF22_16.pdf)). Details: [Financing your own sales in New Jersey](/blog/new-jersey-buy-here-pay-here-financing-rules). ## What does a New Jersey dealer license cost? State fees are small. Private companies and your city quote the rest, and the [New Jersey startup guide](/blog/how-to-start-a-used-car-dealership-in-new-jersey) lists every cost. | Item | Cost | Who sets it | | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | License | $200 in the statute; $100 on MVC forms. Budget $200 | State law and the MVC | | Renewal | $200 every 24 months | [State law](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM) | | Dealer plates, set of 5 | $257.50 | [MVC](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/business/dealership.htm) | | Temporary tags | $3 each; $5 nonresident; $25 for a second tag | [MVC rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf); [2018 notice](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/Temp_TagLaw_Change.pdf) | | Fingerprints, bond premium, insurance | Quoted by the vendor, surety and insurer | Private companies | | DOBI license, if you finance | $300, non-refundable | DOBI | | City approvals | See the table in Step 3 | Your city | ## How long does it take to get a New Jersey dealer license? The MVC publishes no processing time. Your town's BLS-162 comes first, and processing waits for every fingerprint receipt. 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). ## After the license: the dates that matter | When | What | Source | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Each sale | MVC page for new owners: titles transferred within 10 working days of the sale, to avoid a $25 penalty | [MVC: transferring ownership](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/vehicles/transowner.htm) | | After 90 days | A follow-up MVC inspection at any time; failing it means revocation | [MVC used-dealer packet](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/useddealer.pdf) | | Every 12 months | At least 4 New Jersey-registered sales or leases to keep temporary tags and plates | [MVC rules](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/business/nj_motor_vehicle_dealer_regulations.pdf) | | Quarterly | Sales tax return ST-50, plus monthly remittance on ST-51 where required | [Guide S&U-4](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/sales/su4.pdf) | | 3 and 4 years | Keep business records 3 years on the premises, sales tax records at least 4 | MVC rules; S&U-4 | | 24 months | The license expires | [P.L.2021, c.484](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/484_.HTM) | We found no published renewal date, so count 24 months from the issue date on your license and confirm with the MVC. The MVC may fine a licensee up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for later ones ([P.L.2007, c.335](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2006/PL07/335_.HTM)). Selling cars on a Sunday is a disorderly persons offense anywhere in New Jersey ([N.J.S.A. 2C:33-26](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/2785/3213?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)): a fine up to $100 for a first offense, rising to $750 or 6 months in jail, or both, from the third. A licensed dealer also faces suspension or revocation ([N.J.S.A. 39:10-20](https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/32712/34297?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0)). Whether an online order taken on a Sunday counts is unsettled; ask counsel. Delivery duties: [After the sale in New Jersey, and who can inspect you](/blog/new-jersey-dealer-after-the-sale-and-inspections). ## What trips people up - **Signing the lease before BLS-162.** Without the town's signed and sealed form, the MVC will not license the site. - **A cell phone instead of a landline.** The MVC requires a landline, with the bill in the business name. - **One unscanned officer.** Processing waits for every fingerprint receipt. - **Buying $25,000 of property damage coverage.** The checklist says $50,000, and $50,000 meets either reading. - **Assuming the license covers temporary tags.** Issuing them takes a separate application and a training course. ## What changed recently - **August 17, 2026.** A second 30-day temporary registration is also allowed during complex title corrections and replacement or duplicate titles, and at the chief administrator's discretion ([R.2026 d.091](https://nj.gov/mvc/pdf/about/R.2026%20d.091%20%2858%20N.J.R.%201922%28a%29%29.pdf)). - **November 1, 2024.** Only the new security-paper temporary tags may be on the road ([MVC advisory](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/about/New%20Temporary%20License%20Plates%20Advisory%20-%20LAW%20Enforcement%202024-01.pdf)). - **January 18, 2022.** [P.L.2021, c.462](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/462_.HTM) and c.484: online sales from a licensed base, the $200 fee and the 24-month term took effect. - **Coming: June 30, 2027.** All DOBI installment seller licenses expire, with free online renewal. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I run a car dealership from my home in New Jersey? No. The MVC requires an office of at least 72 square feet in a permanent enclosed building, display space for 2 cars, a permanent sign and a landline. State law lets a licensed dealer sell online statewide from its licensed base, but selling from home or from an unlicensed lot is still prohibited. ### How much does a New Jersey dealer license cost? The statute sets the license fee at $200, while the MVC's forms still say $100, so budget $200. Add $257.50 for a set of 5 dealer plates. You pay by certified check or money order after preliminary approval and the site inspection. The bond premium, insurance and fingerprinting are quoted privately. ### Do I need a course or an exam for a New Jersey dealer license? No course is required to get the license. The MVC's rule provides for an interview on New Jersey dealer law and lets the Commission require training if your knowledge falls short. Issuing temporary tags is different: it takes a separate application and an MVC-approved training course. ### When do I get fingerprinted for a New Jersey dealer license? After you mail the packet. Once the MVC receives Form BLS-163, it mails each officer, director, controlling person or partner a fingerprint application for a live scan by a state-approved vendor. Processing waits for every receipt, and the applicant pays. ### Do I need another license to finance my own customers? Yes. A licensed dealer that signs retail installment contracts needs DOBI's Motor Vehicle Installment Seller license: a $300 non-refundable paper application with a copy of your MVC license and a New Jersey office.
