How many temporary permits may a dealer issue for each roadworthy vehicle sold?

A dealer may issue one temporary permit for each roadworthy vehicle sold. This temporary permit is intended to allow the buyer to legally operate the vehicle on public roads while they complete the registration process. It serves as a bridge between the point of sale and the formal registration of the vehicle, typically allowing a limited time period during which the buyer can drive the vehicle without facing legal issues.

Understanding the limitations on the number of temporary permits helps maintain a clear and organized system for vehicle registration and ensures that all vehicles on the road are properly documented and insured. Novel situations such as issuing multiple permits for the same vehicle could lead to confusion and potential misuse, which is why the policy restricts dealers to just one temporary permit per vehicle sale. This regulation helps facilitate accountability both for the dealer and the buyer in compliance matters.
