every car dealer needs a livescan fingerprint card to get licensed

Live Scan Fingerprinting Occupational Licensing

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 5 or greater) to view some of the linked documents on this page. If you have problems with Acrobat Reader see the Adobe Troubleshooting page for possible solutions.

What is Live Scan fingerprinting?

Live Scan is inkless electronic fingerprinting. The fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for completion of a criminal record check.

Who is affected by it?

Anyone applying for the first time to be licensed as a vehicle salesperson, dealer, driving instructor, manufacturer, transporter, dismantler, registration service, distributor, lessor-retailer, remanufacturer, or any other vehicle industry relating to an occupational license issued by DMV will be Live Scan fingerprinted. It also applies to first time applicants for an ambulance driver certificate.

Why “Live Scan” fingerprinting?

As a result of legislation in late 1997, Department of Justice has developed an automated background check process that requires digitized fingerprints (“Live Scan”). Beginning January 1, 2000, DOJ has asked that fingerprints be submitted by Live Scan rather than hard copy fingerprint cards. Digitizing the fingerprints enables the electronic transfer of the fingerprint image data along with personal descriptor information to computers at the DOJ in a matter of seconds, instead of the days required to send hard copy fingerprint cards through the mail. DOJ‘s goal is to process 95% of the digitized fingerprints within 3 days.

What is the cost to be Live Scan fingerprinted?

The cost to electronically fingerprint the applicant is determined by the local Live Scan agency. According to DOJ, they can charge a fee sufficient to recover their costs. The $32 DOJ criminal record check fee is collected at the Live Scan site.

What will the applicant need to do to be Live Scan fingerprinted?

The applicant may call the local police or sheriff’s department to find their local Live Scan sites that are open to the general public. The applicant can also call the department’s Occupational Licensing offices in Sacramento (916) 229-3126 or Los Angeles (213) 744-7563 and be mailed the department’s Live Scan request form. A sample of the department’s Live Scan form is attached. DMV-8016 Request for Live Scan Service (PDF). If the licensee does not use the department’s Live Scan form, it is suggested he/she take a sample of the form with them to ensure the Live Scan site has all the information needed for transmitting the data to Occupational Licensing.

Note: The applicant must go to a Live Scan site to be Live Scan fingerprinted before applying for an occupational license at DMV. If you have held an active Occupational License issued by DMV in the past 3 years, you may not require a new set of prints.

Where are the Live Scan sites?

You can find an up-to-date Live Scan site list on DOJ‘s Internet web page at:

http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.htm

Or, you may call your local police or sheriff’s department for the nearest Live Scan station that is available to the general public.

What are the benefits of Live Scan?

Live Scan will avoid many of the problems associated with ink prints, such as smudging, smearing, and over or under inking. A major benefit of Live Scan is in processing speed since nearly all of those without criminal records are done within 3 days. Rolled ink prints (traditionally submitted on a fingerprint card) can take 10 to 12 days to process and up to 60 days if there is a criminal record.

What should the applicant do if DOJ sends DMV a “delayed” response?

DMV cannot release a license or permit until the applicant passes a background check from DOJ. Applicants may call the automated Integrated Voice Response System at (916) 227-4557 to determine the status of their background check. This system is normally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Can my Live Scan results from another agency be used or forwarded to DMV?

No, DMV cannot contact DOJ for a copy of the results sent to another agency, nor can we accept a copy from any other source. DMV must receive a communication directly from DOJ to process the application. In order to receive communications from DOJ, the applicant must report to a Live Scan station with the correct DMV form, DMV 8016, Request for Live Scan Service (Refer to question; What will the applicant need to do to be Live Scan fingerprinted?)

5 tips for a wholesale dealer license

  1. Sign up for our 6 hour Car Dealer Pre-Licensing Class. Follow the steps that you are taught, and then get approved by the California DMV as a wholesale dealer.
  2. Utilize the Web. Did you know that most wholesale dealers search the internet prior to purchasing a vehicle? A good wholesaler will recognize a low priced car at auction buy it and resell it a week later at the same auction.
  3. Keep in mind that delivery of the vehicle to the buyer must occur at the sellers licensed location. Some wholesalers will buy seasoned stock ( vehicles which are front line ready on a retailers lot but approaching 60 days in inventory ) and swap them out for vehicles freshly obtained. This allows the used car sales manager to restart the clock on that seasoned stock. These deals are often done book for book, the wholesaler ends up with added value. In a front line ready car the wholesaler can sell to another dealer, but it will often take a series of these book for book trades before you can actually see profits. Many small used car lots do not have the time to go to auction. A good wholesaler can stock these smaller lots and make a small profit on each car.
  4. Don’t ever consign a vehicle to another dealer. The wholesale license is a good starting place for the beginner; lesser bond, easier zoning and access to the market. Dealer plates and insurance are included in the wholesale package but as a wholesaler one can only buy and sell within the industry. That means as a wholesaler you can sell only to other dealers, there is no buying off the street. If and when a wholesaler has a vehicle to sell to the public he/she may draft that sale through a licensed retailer, this is call this a drafted sale.
  5. Remember the drafted sale creates liability for the retailer. Typical draft fee is $ 500. We advise the following: no loss selling ( wholesaler must sell higher than acquisition cost ), smog safety and verification provided by wholesaler, wholesaler as contact person on the buyers guide, statement from wholesaler assuming all liability if customer is not happy. Then the retailer collects and pays all taxes and fees, and sends the documents to DMV for processing.

Tips

  • Wholesale Dealers cannot sell to the Public (only to other Car Dealers).
  • Wholesale Car Dealers have a lower bond requirement and spend less on insurance.
  • When selling to the public you must use a Drafted Sale.
  • Wholesale dealers provide a much needed asset to the retail car market. Wholesalers provide cars to retail dealers and often facilitate trades among dealers. A good car buyer will make a little on each car (perhaps $ 300), but can only sell up to 24 cars in one year.

red flag answers from the car dealer licensing chief of the california DMV

Red Flags Rule Compliance
New Information

Effective January 1, 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will begin enforcement of the Red Flags Rule, a regulation issued under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), which is a federal law designed to enhance protection against identity theft.

Questions and Answers
Q. What is a red flag?
A. A red flag is a warning sign that identifies a suspicious pattern, practice, or activity that indicates the possible existence of identity theft.

Q. Does the Red Flags Rule list the identity theft warning signs?
A. The Red Flags Rule lists the following identity theft warning signs:
1. Alerts and notifications received from credit reporting agencies and third-party providers.
2. The submission of suspicious documents or suspicious identifying information.
3. Unusual or suspicious account activity.
4. A concern shared by a customer, identify theft victim, or law enforcement.

Q. Who must comply with the Red Flags Rule?
A. The FTC requires all creditors who have covered accounts to comply with the Red Flags Rule.
A creditor is an entity that regularly grants loans, arranges for loans or the extension of credit, or makes credit decisions.
Covered accounts are primarily personal, family, or household accounts requiring multiple payments or transactions,
such as an automobile loan or an account which has a foreseeable risk of identity theft.

Q. Does the Red Flags Rule apply to vehicle dealers?
A. If a dealer extends auto credit to consumers or arranges auto credit for consumers, the rule will most likely apply.

Q. What is required?
A. The Red Flags Rule requires the development and maintenance of a written Identity Theft Prevention Program (ITPP)
to detect, prevent, and reduce the possibility of identity theft.
The ITPP must include the following four elements:
1. Reasonable policies and procedures to address the “red flags” of identity theft you may encounter in the day-to-day operation of your business.
2. A plan to detect the red flags you’ve identified. For example: if you’ve identified fake IDs as a red flag,
then you must have procedures in place to detect possible fake, forged, or altered identification, such as training staff.
3. Appropriate actions to take when red flags are detected.
4. Identify the persons responsible for implementing and administering the program and approval of the program by your board of directors.
If you don’t have a board, approval of the ITPP is up to an appropriate senior-level employee.
Your ITPP must also include plans for training staff and periodic re-evaluation to reflect new identity theft risks.

Q. Will all ITPPs be the same?
A. While some businesses and organizations may need a comprehensive program that addresses a high risk of identity theft,
others with a low risk of identity theft could create a more streamlined program.

Q. What if our company outsources or subcontracts some of our work?
A. If you outsource or subcontract parts of your operation that would be covered by the Red Flags Rule, your ITPP must address how you’ll monitor your contractors’ compliance.

Q. When is the deadline for implementation of the Red Flags Rule?
A. The implementation deadline was November 1, 2008, but the FTC is delaying enforcement of the Red Flags Rule until January 1, 2011,
to give creditors and financial institutions additional time to develop and implement written identity theft prevention programs.
However, this delay does not prevent other federal agencies from enforcing the Red Flags Rule after November 1, 2008,
for institutions subject to their oversight.

Q. Who enforces the Red Flags Rule?
A. The FTC, the federal bank regulatory agencies, and the National Credit Union Administration enforce the Red Flags Rule.

Q. Are there any non-compliance consequences?
A. 1. Federal Administrative Action:
The FTC can enact penalties up to $2,500 per violation (15 United States Code §1681 (a)(2)(A)).
2. State Enforcement: States can impose up to $1,000 per violation, plus attorneys’ fees.
3. Civil Liability: Customers can also file civil suits to recover actual damages sustained due to a violation.

Q. Where can I obtain a copy of the FTC guidelines?
A. A copy of the guidelines may be obtained at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/redflagsrule/index.shtml
NOTE: This is only a summary of the Red Flags Rule. Please refer to the FTC guidelines for more comprehensive information.

Background
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACTA) amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970
to combat identity theft and requires joint federal agencies to develop and implement regulations.
The regulations are intended to protect consumers by requiring businesses to develop a written ITPP plan.
These businesses include those that extend credit or maintain consumer accounts allowing multiple payments or transactions
or maintain accounts that have a reasonably foreseeable risk of customer identity theft.

Distribution
Notification that this memo is available online at dmv.ca.gov/pubs/olin/olin.htm
was made via e-mail alert in June 2009 to the following:

• All E-mail Alert subscribers.

DMV Wants Your Feedback

Department encourages comments, suggestions from customers

Sacramento —In a continuing effort to improve customer service and satisfaction, customers now have the opportunity to rate theirDMV experience by sharing valuable feed back on a new “How are we doing?” web survey page.

“The opinions and suggestions from our customers are the most valuable tools that the DMV can utilize to improve on services,” said DMV Director George Valverde. “We take the opinions of our customers very seriously”

DMV customers are now able to go to the DMV website and choose a service rating from 1 – 10 with an optional comment box designed to share any additional thoughts, suggestions, or compliments. The department will use this data for future consideration in the development of additional customer services.

The DMV has deployed a series of new service options and enhancements with the customer in mind. Last month, the department increased the number of Self Service Terminals (SSTs) to 35 offices around the state where customers can get their registration cards and tags within seconds; in October, DMV launched a new, expanded appointment system that is providing advance appointments in greater numbers and in a more timely manner; in May, customers began receiving the option of a call-back from the department through Virtual Hold; and, DMV deployed Appointment Notify, where customers receive a reminder call three days prior to a scheduled appointment.

These improvements followed DMV’s successful launch of DMV Now, which allows customers with Android and iPhone smart phones to find a local office with real-time wait times and provide turn-by-turn directions based on GPS location, take sample written driving tests, and, access a large library of DMV driver education videos and other important DMV alerts.

Don’t Stand In Line, Go Online! Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through its Website (www.dmv.ca.gov), including online appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions. Customers can also effect transactions by calling DMV customer service at (800) 777-0133.DMV is a department under the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency.

DEALER WEBSITE DESIGN AND CUSTOMIZATION
Our out of the box dealer website solution requires absolutely no work on your part and appropriate customizations are handled by our staff. For dealers that want to dig a little deeper and get more involved, your dealer site is customizable by you with just a few clicks. The site style, the content, the header design, the cars that rotate and appear in the header, the background colors, the keywords, the page descriptions, the page titles, the search engine optimization – it’s all in your hands if you want to take the reins. If not, it’s taken care of for you by our staff.

ADDING INVENTORY
You can load your inventory into Dealer Jump by deocding each VIN and clicking 1 button to add up to 100 pictures from your computer. Before you know it you’ll start gaining visibility online, generating more traffic, talking to more leads, and selling more cars!

It’s no surprise that auto dealers with a dealer website sell more vehicles than their competition without one. As a dealer you need to promote your business by displaying your vehicle inventory online. You’ll reach people you never knew were your customers and you’ll gain business credibility. We’ll provide you with a cutting edge design for your dealership that encourages customer interaction.

Summary of our dealer website offering:
  • Clean, easy navigation so users can browse your inventory and find the car they’re looking for
  • Phone number present on every page so site visitors can call you easily
  • A contact form on each vehicle page so site visitors can write to you with inquiries because not every person wants to pick up the phone. Sometimes it’s easier to just type a simple question and click SEND.
  • Clear display of the vehicles in your inventory with pictures and other pertinent details.
  • A location map so site visitors can figure out how to get to your lot and visit you in-person if they like what they see online
  • Search engine optimized pages that get indexed and organically placed in the search results of the majr search engines
  • Load dozens of pictures from your camera or computer (max 100) for each vehicle with 1 click
  • Decode the VIN of your vehicles and load them on your website in seconds.
  • Be up and running, live and online within a couple days.
  • We buy your domain name and provide the hosting
  • We provide you with a real email address that ends in your domain so you can look more credible and professional. Instead of a yahoo, gmail, hotmail, live, msn or other free email account, you can gain credibility with an e-mail address that is a part of your web domain (i.e. sales@americasbestusedcars.com)

Every dealer has a competitive advantage and a reason or two why the consumer should spend money in their dealership and not the other dealers down the block, but remember that no matter how many reasons you give your customer to buy a car from you, consumers have choices. There is great value in a customer having a good experience with you both online and in-person. So get started with a website for your auto dealership and get yourself out there. Make in impact. Showcase your inventory. Get more leads and sell more cars.

The sites we design for dealers are to-the-point and get the job done. Dealers all over the United States are enjoying using our dealer websites. Each site is designed to engage your customer and to convert them from just a website visitor into a web lead. You’ll have site visitors writing to you and calling you
