Salesperson Licensing Program
Salesperson Licensing Program
GCADA offers a member benefit to assist in the licensing of your sales staff which includes; salespeople, F&I managers, internet sales, sales managers or any other member of your staff who takes part in the sale of a motor vehicle. A new salesperson must be licensed prior to taking any part in the sale of a motor vehicle on the behalf of your dealership. The practice of utilizing an unlicensed salesperson places your dealer license at risk.
Your Association provides a service to handle the sales licensing from start to finish. This process can be done efficiently as long as the application is complete and correct and the applicant does not have a criminal past. This program also eliminates the need for an applicant to visit a police station for fingerprinting since GCADA is equipped to take fingerprints.
Please complete the following steps to ensure a smooth application process:
- Send the newly hired salesperson to GCADA, located at 9150 South Hills Boulevard, Suite 150 in Broadview Heights, with the following items:
- A valid photo I.D.
- A legible, fully completed and notarized BMV 4301 Form updated 7/22 (click here to complete and print).
- Please make sure all application forms are signed, all applications are dated and the dates are the same, including the notary date.
- Only the applicant can fill out the application.
- GCADA can no longer accept incomplete, illegible or outdated application forms.
- The salesperson will come to GCADA with the above-mentioned items and will have fingerprints taken electronically.
- Once GCADA receives the fingerprint results they are forwarded with the salesperson’s BMV 4301 Form to the BMV Dealer Licensing Section.
- The license is ground mailed directly to the dealership from the BMV in Columbus.
The dealership will be billed a flat GCADA member fee of $42.00 per application which covers the BCI&I fingerprinting charges and the BMV salesperson licensing fee.
This program is also for salespersons who have let their license expire for over a year and longer.
GCADA does not handle renewals, transfers and reinstatements.
Those transactions must be handled directly through Dealer Licensing (here).
- Duplicate: Persons whose current license is lost, mutilated or destroyed may apply for a duplicate license.
- Renewal/Transfer: Persons who need to renew and transfer a license from one dealership to another.
- Transfer/Reinstatement: Persons who hold a valid Ohio Salespersons License may transfer the license from one licensed dealership to another or reinstate a license if rehired after leaving a dealership. A transfer is not necessary if the salesperson is simply moving to another dealership owned and operated by that same corporation, even if it is located in another county.
Important Information:
- The State of Ohio requires a Dealer to keep a current list of the dealer’s licensed salespersons at each location. The list must show the names, addresses and serial numbers of their licenses. The Dealer shall make the list available upon request. BMV Form 4310 (click here to print)
- All Salespersons licenses expire on the last day of June, biennially, every 2 years.
