We are seeing individuals that have been denied a salesperson license, come to an appeal and state that they have been working as a salesperson since the application was submitted. The person CANNOT act as a salesperson until the dealership receives the license issued from MVED. Just because the application has been submitted, doesn’t mean the license has been issued. By allowing a person to work without a license, the dealership can be charged criminally and receive a civil penalty as well. Please don’t put your dealership in this situation. Once the license is in hand, the person is good, not before.
