New Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealers

Submit a copy of your Manufacturer Authorization letter that is on the Manufacturer’s letterhead that states your dealership name, physical address, effective date and authorized signature and a 10-mile radius check will be conducted prior to the product being added to your record. NOTE: The manufacturer or the authorized distributor must be licensed in Arizona by Dealer Licensing before any new product may be sold by a dealer in this state.

If the termination of the franchise is mutual between the manufacturer and the franchisee, submit a letter from the franchisee and the manufacturer to terminate that product line from a dealership. 

If the termination is not mutual, the manufacturer must submit a letter that addresses the request for termination to MVD and contain the following:

Business may not be conducted until the new principal(s) are issued a dealer license. A Motor Vehicle Dealer Application is required, a copy of the buy/sell agreement and letter(s) of termination from the manufacturer(s) as well as all requirements as outlined in the Dealer Licensing website.

Submit a written notification, signed by an owner requesting cancellation of your dealer license. Return the dealer license certificate and all dealer plates associated with the dealer license. New Motor Vehicle Dealers are required to submit a franchise letter of termination from the manufacturer.
