How to become a vehicle and boat licensing subagent

Find information on how to become a subagent and contact your local County Auditor to apply.

What is a subagent?

A subagent is a private business that enters into a contract with a County Auditor and is appointed by the Department of Licensing Director to perform vehicle and vessel title and licensing services.

How are new subagents selected?

  1. The county submits a request and statistical justification to us asking for adding a new subagent.
  2. If we approve the request, the county begins with an open-competitive advertisement for business proposals, followed by a screening and interview process.
  3. A team of county agents and existing subagents review all proposals and make a recommendation to us for a viable candidate.

How do I apply?

You may begin the process by contacting the County Auditor's office for the area where you want to do business. They can tell you if they're seeking an additional subagent.
