Va. MVDB Provides Another Update on Sales License Background Check Providers

As we have reported previously, Virginia auto dealers are now required to complete background checks on behalf of new sales personnel who are seeking a license in the state. When the mandate went into effect on Aug. 1, there were just two providers to choose from, but there are now seven authorized vendors.

Dealers will need to get a unique background check code number for each sales staff member, and list it on the MVDB 61 form they submit to the state on their behalf.

The following providers are authorized to conduct MVDB-approved background checks for those seeking new salesperson licenses:
