British Columbia Dealer License Plates

Motor-dealer licenses are required by individuals or firms whose business involves the buying and selling of motor-vehicles, motor-cycles, or trailers. In the 1960s and 1970s a pre-requisite for the issuance of a motor-dealer's license or the retention of such a license was that an insurance bond be supplied to the Superintendent of Insurance in the amount of $5,000 or a security be filed with the Minister of Finance in a similar amount.

A process of investigation would then be carried out for each new motor-dealer. Information in connection with the proposed operation, previous business, corporate formation, business intentions, premises, and compliance with municipal zoning regulations would be considered before a license would be authorized.
