New VA Authorization To Purchase Temporary Tags Policy Effective March 30

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has advised all dealers that, effective March 30, 2005, dealer owners and operators will be required to submit the names of all dealership personnel who are authorized to purchase temporary tags for their dealership.

Temporary tags will not be sold to any dealership employees who have not been reported to DMV prior to the request to purchase. Dealer owners and operators will automatically be registered as authorized purchasers.

The dealer may designate additional employees as authorized purchasers through the DMV Extranet Dealer Services Renewal application, which dealerships currently use to renew their dealer and salesperson licenses. In addition to the Extranet process, dealers may add or delete personnel by notifying DMVês Dealer Services Work Center by mail or fax only, no phone calls please. The fax number is (804) 367-7046.

Included with the DMV letter to dealers was the application package for the Extranet process. If dealers have already signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and have their fob which allows them to access the Extranet Dealer Online Renewal to process renewals, dealers will be required to sign an addendum to the MOU to be able to add or delete authorized purchasers. Dealers may contact Janet Williams by e-mail at JANET.WILLIAMS@dmv. virginia.gov or by phone at (804) 497-7191.

For other questions, dealers may contact the DMV Dealer Services Work Center, (804) 367-1833.
