Online Verification of TxDMV GDN and Salvage Dealer Licenses Available

Good Afternoon,

 A current list of active GDN and salvage dealer licensees is available on the TxDMV website here. The information provided in this license lookup is updated daily and should be considered the most current information available. A search can be conducted by Business Name, Assumed Name/DBA, License Number, City, and/or County. A complete spreadsheet of active dealers is also available for download if the search does not return the desired results.

The current status of a license was recently added to the available fields shown on the search results page and can be used as primary verification of a GDN or Salvage dealer license. Please see below for a breakdown of what each license status means:

• Active – The license is currently active with an expiration date listed in the future. The license is in full force and effect.
• APA Expired – The license is considered active but has an expiration date listed in the past. This status means that a renewal application was received prior to the license expiration date and is currently being reviewed by TxDMV staff. If a license is in APA Expired status, this should be considered an active license for all business needs. A status of APA Expired means that the renewal has not yet been approved or denied. Licenses in APA Expired status remain in full force and effect until a final determination is made by TxDMV staff on the renewal application. Metal license plates will also remain in full force and effect under this license status.
