Motor vehicle dealer and salesperson licenses expire May 31 of every odd-numbered year. Renewal notices are mailed to the most recent employer address on file, two to three months prior to the license expiration date. Therefore, licensees should plan to renew their licenses online in March or April.

License renewals will be handled through the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS).
