Where is the dealer registration certificate typically kept?

The dealer registration certificate is typically posted in a public area to ensure visibility and compliance with regulations. This practice serves multiple purposes, including fostering transparency and allowing customers and regulatory bodies to easily verify that the dealership is properly registered and operating legally. Displaying the certificate publicly helps build trust with customers, as it shows that the dealer is adhering to the necessary legal requirements to conduct their business.

In contrast, keeping the certificate in a secure safe, in the dealer's office, or with the finance department would not fulfill the regulatory requirements for public display and could limit access for verification by customers or inspectors. Therefore, the best practice is to have it posted where it can be readily seen by anyone visiting the dealer's premises.
