Washington Licensing Requirements

Buying for personal use in Washington? Without business licenses, private individuals buying in Washington may purchase boats, jet skis, snowmobiles and salvage titled items on their own but will need to go through a Broker for all clean titled vehicles. If you're buying in another state, view the Licensing Map or search our No License Required inventory.

In Washington, dealers, dismantlers, general businesses and exporters will need to provide CrashedToys an operational license and a sales tax license for the same physical address, as well as sales tax exemption forms. The Reseller Permit sales tax license may be obtained from the Washington Department of Revenue. The Washington Department of Revenue also issues dealer, dismantler and business licenses.
