I have a question maybe someone can answer this. Do you need a nj driver license to apply for a nj dealers license even if you have a s corp? I ask because i live in pa, would i need to change my license to a nj license?
Great question! When applying for a New Jersey dealer license, you must provide a copy of the driver’s license for each owner, officer, member, and/or partner listed on the application. So the questions is if an out-of-state driver’s license is acceptable.
In many cases, NJMVC may allow an out-of-state license if you can still prove a legitimate business presence in New Jersey.
Since you live in Pennsylvania, you’ll likely need to meet additional requirements, such as:
– Having a physical business location in NJ that meets zoning regulations.
– Appointing a resident agent or someone with NJ residency to handle legal matters.
– Providing a New Jersey sales tax ID and any other business registration documents.
However, some applicants have been required to switch to an NJ driver’s license, especially if they are the primary owner or the designated responsible party.
To be sure, I’d recommend reaching out to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) – Business Licensing Services Bureau at (609) 292-6500 ext. 5096 to confirm whether you must obtain an NJ license or if your PA license will be sufficient.
