Dealer Forms in North Carolina
As a motor vehicle dealer in North Carolina, there are many forms you will need to operate your business. Beginning with your application for dealer license and plates, and subsequent renewals, you will also have to secure dealer surety bonds, and have each of your sales representatives apply for their licenses.
These forms, together with the North Carolina statutes that regulate dealers, can be found in the Motor Vehicle Dealer and Manufacturer Regulation Manual. The manual is in PDF format and requires Adobe Reader. If you do not have the Adobe Reader, you can download it for free.
