By Arie Garcia, Director of Operations, PIADA-MDIADA-DEIADA
Please be advised that PennDOT has replaced the current
3 year agent contract with a new 5 year agent contract for

that you should be prepared for and aware of:
1. You will need to resubmit requirements (such as criminal
background checks, reference letters, site photos) for
the new 5 year contract.
2. We recommend that you begin to you work on your
requirements at least 6 months before your existing
contract expires.
3. You will need a storage area that is either (i) a secured
room with no windows and that has a solid door with a
dead bolt lock, OR (ii) instead of a separate secure room
you can have a safe dead-bolted to the floor inside your
sales office. This storage area should be large enough
to hold your PennDOT inventory (such as temp tags,
unused MV1 and MV4ST forms, SA2 paper, registration
stickers, and all completed paperwork not yet submitted
for processing).
4. You will also be required to have a shredder on site.
5. A Fraud Hotline poster is required to be posted at your
dealership. You can order this poster from PIADA at
