Section 608 - Approval of licenses and issuance of licensesA. If the department approves an application for license, it shall issue to the applicant a license certificate showing the name of the person authorized to do business thereunder and the address of the licensee. Such license certificate when issued to an installment seller or to a sales finance company shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the place of business of the licensee, so that it will be in full view of the public at all times; and when issued to a collector-repossessor shall be carried in the immediate possession of the licensee whenever he is engaged in the type of business for which the license is issued, so that it may be presented for inspection upon request of any person entitled to such inspection.B. A license shall not be transferred or assigned.C. A licensee may change his place of business to another location within the same municipality for which the license certificate was issued. A licensee desiring to change the address of his place of business shall give prior written notice thereof to the department and shall return the license certificate to the department for amendment. The department shall amend the license certificate to show the new address and the date thereof, which shall thereafter be the authorized address of the licensee. A licensee shall not be required to pay any charge for amendment of a license certificate to effect change of address.D. Only one place of business may be operated under the same license: Provided, however, That where every place of business is conducted under one name and the business records are kept in one place only one license shall be required. This proviso shall apply only to installment sellers. A licensee may operate more than one place of business by filing an application on the prescribed form for each additional place of business and by furnishing a bond for each additional place of business in the case of a sales finance company and collector-repossessor and by paying the respective license fee provided in this act for each additional place of business.1947, June 28, P.L. 1110, § 8.
