Registering a Vehicle

Dealerships, other retailers and their subcontractors, manufacturers and auto body shops can order dealer plates.

A dealer plate can be used with the following vehicles:

• motorcycles, mopeds and motorized scooters
• buses and minibuses
• trucks

• tool vehicles
• trailers
• off-road vehicles

If the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight ratingA vehicle's weight, including its maximum load capacity, according to the manufacturer's specifications. of 4,500 kg or more, you must be registered in the Registre des propriétaires et des exploitants de véhicules lourds (register of owners and operators of heavy vehicles) of the Commission des transports du Québec to be allowed to operate this vehicle.

To order one or more dealer plates, you must hold a valid road vehicle dealer licence.

Upon completing the online operation, you must download and print the vehicle registration certificate and temporary licence plate. You must place the temporary licence plate on the vehicle while waiting to receive the metal licence plate in the mail.
