PURPOSE: This rule sets forth procedures for issuance of nonresident salvage-buyer’s identification card.

1. (1) Upon application, the department may authorize the issuance of an identification card to a nonresident, salvage business licensee which will enable the nonresident licensee to purchase tangible personal property at a Missouri salvage pool or a salvage disposal sale.
2. (2) Only applicants engaged in a business that dismantles used motor vehicles for the sale of the parts and buys and sells used motor vehicle parts and accessories may apply for a nonresident salvage-buyer’s identification card.

3. (3) Before issuance of any identification card, the applicant must present proof of licensure or nonrequirement for licensure from their state of residence or business location. Proof shall be in one (1) of the following forms:

   1. (A) If the applicant’s state of residence or business location registers the salvage business licensee as a salvage dealer or dismantler, the applicant must submit a certified copy of his/her business license; or
   2. (B) If the applicant’s state of residence or business location does not register the salvage business licensee as a salvage dealer or dismantler, the applicant must submit proof of nonrequirement and that the applicant’s business meets the legal description of salvage dealer or dismantler under Missouri statutes in the form of a letter issued by the appropriate state agency. In addition to the letter, the applicant must present either a copy of his/her sales tax license or occupational or business license issued by the political subdivision where the applicant is engaged in business.
4. (4) The applicant must submit a head and shoulders color photograph, one inch in width by one and one-fourth inches in length (1" H 1 1/4"). The photograph will be affixed to the nonresident salvage-buyer’s identification card issued by the Department of Revenue.
5. (5) The fee for a nonresident salvage-buyer’s identification card is twenty-five dollars ($25).
6. (6) Nonresident salvage-buyer’s identification cards must be renewed annually before August 1.
7. (7) Whenever the nonresident salvage buyer is no longer entitled to registration through voluntary cessation of business, abandonment of the registered place of business, suspension of registration, sale of a business, declaration of bankruptcy or for any other reason, the nonresident salvage buyer immediately shall surrender his/her nonresident salvagebuyer’s identification card to the director of revenue regardless of the unexpired time remaining in the registration period applicable to the license. No portion of the fee shall be refunded.
