Buying for personal use in Pennsylvania? You have the green light!This means you can purchase clean and salvage titled vehicles without business licenses.
|
In Pennsylvania, dealers, dismantlers, general businesses and exporters are recommended to provide Copart an operational license, a sales tax license and sales tax exemption forms. This expands bidding eligibility for those looking to buy in states that do require licenses.
The Certificate of Registration Sales Tax License is issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. Vehicle dealers may submit the Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate (Form REV-1220) in place of the sales tax license.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs and your local municipality issue a wide range of dealer, dismantler and business licenses.
These links provide the forms and information you need to get started with licensing:
- PA Dealer Licensing Information
- PA MMVB Licensing Information
- PA DOT Driver and Vehicle Services
- PA Department of Revenue
Additionally, please complete the following forms and submit them to our Licensing Department via our License Uploader. These documents will be processed within one to two business days of receipt. Click here to watch a tutorial video on how to use the License Uploader.
