You must get approval for each manager you recruit, and for each car yard you operate.

The person you recruit

The manager for your car yard must be:

• over 18 years 
• not bankrupt or have salary assigned to creditors
• free of criminal records or charges for fraud, dishonesty or physical violence within the last decade
• likely be a fair and honest business manager.

Before you apply

You must prepare and submit the following documents for the person in the application:

• current photographic identification - eg: driver licence, passport, birth certificate - and provide certified true copies if not submitted in person
• receipt from a police criminal history check, for which you must pay a name check fee
• two written referee statements, stating the individual is a fit and proper person to manage a licensed motor vehicle dealer.
