Dealer and motorcycle dealer plate restrictions:
There are no limitations on the number of manufacturer and motorcycle manufacturer plates that can be purchased by manufacturers. (§40-12-264, Code of Ala. 1975)
If the dealer charges customers a fee for the uses above, dealer plates cannot be displayed on the vehicle. Motor vehicle dealers may display standard plates on vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Ad valorem tax is not due when this occurs. (§40-12-264, Code of Ala. 1975)
After the dealer license has been obtained, the dealer must visit the county licensing office to purchase the appropriate privilege license(s) (Sections 40-12-51, 40-12-62, or 40-12-169).
Dealer plates will be issued by the Department of Revenue, contingent upon proof of the appropriate privilege licenses.
Dealer and Manufacturer plates may be requested while the designated agent is logged in their MyDMV account.
Manufacturers must present their Section 87 license in order to purchase manufacturer license plates.
如果经销商或制造商的车牌丢失或被盗，必须向执法部门报告这一事实，并保留一份报告供审计之用。
If a plate becomes mutilated to the point that it is illegible, the plate must be returned to ALDOR, and a replacement plate will be issued upon payment of the appropriate fee (§40-12-265, Code of Ala. 1975).
If a dealer withdraws a vehicle from inventory, the licensed dealer shall purchase an Alabama license plate and register the vehicle.
Motor vehicle dealer, motorcycle dealer, and manufacturer license plates may not be used in lieu of regular issued license plates as a means of avoiding registration and ad valorem tax requirements.
- 新车或二手车经销商或批发商可使用这些车牌运输其库存内的车辆。
• Motor vehicle rebuilders may use dealer transit plates to move vehicles to and from repair points as necessary to complete the restoration, or may be moved as permitted by ALDOR for inspection.
如果经销商、改造商或批发商的执照被吊销或没收，所有经销商/交易商的过境车牌应在10个日历日内归还车牌发放官员。
处罚。
Willful misstatements/documents filed with erroneous information in order to obtain license plates carry a criminal penalty of a Class A misdemeanor and a civil penalty of $1,000 to be assessed by the department. Violating the dealer license law is a Class A misdemeanor.
There is a $5,000 civil penalty for failure to maintain a blanket motor vehicle liability insurance policy.
(Section 40-12-264, Code of Alabama 1975)
