The Division of Motorist Services will review and approve all applications and the required documents submitted. Once you have been approved, the dealer will receive a license certificate along with a 4 digit PIN number attached. This 4 digit PIN number is to be used by the dealer only when transacting with the Department, or The Division Of Motorist Services-approved vendors such as a tax collector office or a tag agency. Dealers must keep this information safeguarded in a secure location if available under lock. The dealer should never share the PIN number with anyone other than the Department or a vendor authorized by The Division of Motorist Services. One example of an authorized usage would be a dealer purchasing electronic temp tags from an approved vendor.

If for any reason the pin-number is accidently lost, forgotten or, misplaced, or misused the dealer needs to contact the  Motor Vehicle Field Operations; Regional Office in charge of his dealership for the retrieval of the lost pin-number. The dealer must present a verifiable proof of identity to the Regional Office staff. A dealer that wants to change an existing pin must forward a written request letter to the Division of Motorist Services, Dealer License Section, Tallahassee. The letter must be written on the dealer’s letterhead. Once the request has been received by Department they will verify the signature of the dealer and then grant the request. This is to ensure the confidentiality of the pin-number. The pin-number will not be released by the Division of Motorist without written authorization. The written request should be addressed to:

Division of Motorist Services Dealer License Section 2900 Apalachee Parkway Mail Stop 65, Room A312 Tallahassee, FL 32399
