Motor Dealer and Repairer Licence — verification in NSW
The motor industry in New South Wales is licensed under the Motor Dealers and Repairers Act. Dealer licences cover businesses buying and selling vehicles, repairer licences cover businesses carrying out repair work, and tradesperson certificates cover the individuals performing specified classes of repair work.
Who needs it
Dealerships, workshops and the tradespeople working in them — motor mechanics, panelbeaters, vehicle painters, auto electricians and other certificated repair classes across the NSW motor industry.
How verification works
A register search returns the holder, the licence or certificate type and classes, the status and the expiry date. Refchecks licence verification covers construction credentials — the White Card, High Risk Work Licences and trade licences — read from the candidate's document and confirmed against the state register in a single check. This record type sits outside that scope.
