(b)

A dealer who moves a place of business or changes the business name must submit to DMV a completed and signed DMV Application to Correct Dealer/Rebuilder Vehicle Dealer Certificate and obtain a corrected dealer certificate before business can be conducted. The dealer must submit the application at least 3 days before the date of the move or name change.
