This law section defines key terms related to independent dealer-operators in Virginia, including certificates, courses, exams, and the roles of dealer-operators and dealers. It also outlines the process for initial certification and recertification of dealer-operators. The provisions ensure clarity on licensing requirements and procedures for maintaining certification status.
An independent dealer-operator is a person responsible for day-to-day operations at an independent motor vehicle dealership that sells used vehicles and is not franchised.
You must apply for a certificate of qualification through the Virginia Board, possibly complete required courses and pass an exam as part of the certification process.
Recertification involves completing the necessary requirements, such as courses or exams, to renew your dealer-operator certificate and maintain your licensing status.
The Virginia Board will send a recertification notice to your home or email address on record, or via digital communication, to inform you of upcoming recertification obligations.
