Section 1: Licensing Requirements and Procedures
Q1: A prospective used motor vehicle dealer in Colorado is preparing to apply for a license. According to state
regulations, what is the minimum prelicensing education requirement before submitting an application?
A. A 4-hour classroom course on Colorado sales tax regulations
B. An 8-hour program covering state and federal statutes and rules governing vehicle sales
[CORRECT]
C. A 16-hour certification program administered by the National Automobile Dealers Association
D. No prelicensing education is required for first-time applicants
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Colorado law mandates an 8-hour prelicensing education program for any person applying for a used motor
vehicle dealer, wholesale motor vehicle auction dealer, or wholesaler license. This program must cover state and federal
statutes and rules governing the sale of motor vehicles, ensuring applicants have foundational knowledge of regulatory
obligations before entering the industry. Options A, C, and D do not match the statutory requirement.
Q2: Dealer applicant Maria is completing her license application. Which of the following identifying
information must be included for each person with an ownership interest in or the ability to control the
applicant dealership?
A. Business email address and social security number only
B. Full name, date of birth, and current residence address [CORRECT]
C. Driver's license number and a credit report
D. Federal tax ID number and proof of insurance only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer Board requires that a license application include the full name, date of
birth, and current residence address for every person who has an ownership interest in or the ability to control the
applicant. This requirement ensures the Board can properly identify and vet all individuals who will have significant
influence over the dealership's operations. Option A is insufficient; Option C and D include items not specifically
mandated for all owners.
Q3: A dealer applicant submits a bond with their application, but the bond amount is below the statutory
minimum. What action may the Board take regarding this application?
A. The Board must accept the bond and issue a conditional license pending correction
B. The Board may reject the application as defective [CORRECT]
C. The Board must hold the application for 30 days to allow the applicant to correct the bond
D. The Board must forward the application to the Attorney General for review
Correct Answer: B
Page 1
, Rationale: Colorado regulations specifically grant the Board authority to reject applications that are defective, including
those submitted with an incorrect bond amount. The bond is a critical consumer protection mechanism, and the Board is
not required to accept an application that fails to meet this fundamental requirement. Options A and C incorrectly suggest
the Board must accept or hold the application, and Option D refers to an unnecessary referral.
Q4: As part of the license application process, a dealer applicant must undergo a fingerprint-based criminal
history record check. To which agencies are the fingerprints submitted?
A. Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
[CORRECT]
B. Colorado Department of Revenue and the U.S. Department of Transportation
C. Colorado State Patrol and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
D. The local county sheriff's office and the Colorado Attorney General's office
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The fingerprint-based criminal history record check must be submitted to both the Colorado Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This dual submission ensures the Board receives a
comprehensive criminal history at both the state and federal levels, which is essential for evaluating the applicant's fitness
to hold a dealer license. Options B, C, and D list incorrect agencies.
Q5: Who is responsible for paying the costs associated with the fingerprint-based criminal history record
check during the dealer license application process?
A. The Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer Board
B. The Colorado Department of Revenue
C. The applicant [CORRECT]
D. The approved third-party administrator conducting the exam
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The applicant bears the cost of the fingerprint-based criminal history record check. This is consistent with the
principle that individuals seeking the privilege of a dealer license should bear the associated administrative and regulatory
costs. The Board, the Department of Revenue, and third-party administrators do not absorb these costs on behalf of
applicants.
Q6: For what period are dealer and salesperson licenses issued under Colorado's licensing cycle?
A. 1 year
B. 2 years [CORRECT]
C. 3 years
D. 5 years
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Colorado dealer and salesperson licenses are issued on a 2-year cycle. This means licensees must renew their
licenses every two years, which includes meeting any continuing education requirements and paying the applicable renewal
fees. Understanding the license period is essential for compliance and avoiding the consequences of operating on an
expired license.
