How to Get a License

Anyone wishing to becoming a vehicle salesperson for a dealer must be licensed through the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).

After being accepted for employment through a dealer, a prospective salesperson must complete a notarized license application form. The dealer will also need to sign the form.

Send the form along with your $35 non-refundable payment to:

• Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission

• 500 James Robertson Parkway, 2nd Floor

• Nashville, TN 37243-1153

License Information

The license is valid for work with only one dealer. If you leave the dealership, you'll need to relinquish your license to the dealer, who will return it to the MVC.

If you go to work for another dealer, you will need to repeat the application process, and pay the $35 fee again.

Licenses need to be renewed every two years at a cost of $35 by using the same form.
