Section 735-150-0041 - Dealer Applications to Participate in the Electronic Vehicle Registration Program

(1) Dealers who wish to participate in the Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR) Program must submit an application to a DMV-approved EVR Integrator. DMV Business Regulation will review all EVR applications, and except as described under section (3) of this rule, will approve all completed and signed applications.

(2) DMV may, at its discretion, conduct an inspection of the dealer's business location(s) before approving an application. The scope of the inspection will include a review of the location(s) to determine whether there is adequate security for the storage of registration materials and the handling of confidential records.

(3) DMV may deny an application to participate in the EVR program for any of the following reasons:

(a) The dealer's certificate has been in effect for less than 180 days of the date of application.

(b) Within one year of the date of application, DMV issued a correction notice to the dealer for any violation of the Oregon Vehicle Code or any rule adopted by DMV relating to vehicle dealers.

(c) The dealer's certificate has been cancelled, suspended or subject to probation by DMV within 5 years of the date of application.

(d) The dealer has failed to pay any civil penalty imposed by DMV or the Oregon Department of Justice.

(e) The dealer is not currently qualified to act as DMV's agent pursuant to OAR 735-150-0039.

(f) The dealer's location failed to pass a business location inspection as described under section (2) of this rule. A dealer whose application is denied under this subsection may reapply after the dealer implements appropriate security measures or safeguards to the satisfaction of DMV.

(4) DMV will notify the appropriate EVR integrator of the outcome of the application review as set forth under this rule. The integrator will convey the outcome to the dealer-applicant. If the application was denied, the notification will give the basis and reason for the denial and the earliest date the dealer-applicant can reapply for the EVR program.
