Registration Process

To obtain a Virginia Certificate of Dealer Registration to sell only watercraft trailers, you must:

1. Hold a valid Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) Dealer License and include a photocopy of that license with your initial or renewal application for registration.
2. Complete the Form DSD-15 application.
3. Complete the Form DSD-9 application for trailer dealer license plates. If you are a franchised trailer dealer, please submit proof of franchise for the issuance of franchise dealer plates.
