How to read these records

The license

The state file has one row per location and per past state of a license. This site groups them: one record per license type and number, showing the active row with the latest expiration, and the other locations on file below. The license number is not unique across license types, so each record carries a reference made of a short code for the type and the number (MVD-00015).

Status

Active, held, expired or terminated, as in the file of October 1, 2026. City and type pages list active licenses only.

The bond

Most dealer licenses require a surety bond. The record shows the bond status the file gives; “bond not required” is the file's own wording.

What is not here

Phone numbers in the state file, complaints and disciplinary actions, and trucking companies. A date the file leaves empty is shown as a dash.
