- About this plate
- USVI DEALER PLATES. This entry is a placeholder with citations, and it is honest about being one.
- Who can have one
- BMV maintains a "Dealer License Plate Application Form", and separately restricts THIRD-PARTY AND DOUBLE TRANSFERS to dealers holding a Power of Attorney signed by the seller, so a VI dealer is a distinct regulated actor with its own plate application route.
Legal basis and sources
- BMV's published forms index, which lists a 'Dealer License Plate Application Form' under Vehicle Registration & Titling, direct agency evidence that a distinct dealer plate series exists https://bmv.vi.gov/forms/
