DC DMV Issues Rule Changes, Updates Temporary Tag Moratorium Becomes Permanent
The District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles (DC DMV) issued an Informational Handout/Dealer Newsletter last week containing all recent actions and rule changes, which is enclosed with this WANADA Bulletin.
Recently implemented changes include:
àThe dealer temporary tag moratorium, prohibiting used car dealers from issuing temporary tags has become permanent.
àInspection Stations will continue issuing second temporary tags for failed inspections.
àOnly one dealer identification tag and one temporary tag lost/stolen within a six-month period can be replaced (unless waived by the DMV Director).
àCopies of the bill of sale, certificate of title, etc. must be retained by dealer at dealership location for 2 years.
WANADA is still working with the DC DMV to resolve the problem of traffic tickets received by customers driving dealership loaner vehicles. WANADA wants these vehicles listed in the fleet program, which requires the Office of Public Works to automatically notify the dealer so the ticket can be traced back to the customer. We expect a solution soon to this problem.
The information sheet also includes updates on documents required for registering new vehicles, FY 2005 dealer registration renewal, and frequently asked questions.
