A filled-in Form CS-053 example: a used car dealer gets zoning approval

Form CS-053 example filled out, example: a used car dealer gets zoning approval
A used car dealer asks the MVA for a license on Form CS-053. The dealer has one storage location, and the zoning official says it meets the requirements. The picture shows page 1, and none of its entries is real. Used Vehicle is the only box ticked under Dealer Licenses, so the other Dealer Licenses boxes, ADR and Scrap Processor stay empty. The dealer is no transporter and no driving school, so Transporters and Driver Education DIP RSDEP stay empty. The second Name and type of storage location stays empty because there is only one storage location. The official finds the requirements met, so does not meet stays empty.
