Motor Vehicle Department

The Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission (LUMVC) serves as the state regulatory authority responsible for licensing and overseeing the used motor vehicle industry, which encompasses more than 8,000 licensees including dealers, dismantlers, and auction representatives. Established by the Louisiana Legislature in 1984, the Commission is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of professionalism and integrity while addressing consumer complaints related to the sale of used motor vehicles. With a mission focused on fair administration and enforcement of licensing laws, the LUMVC operates independently without state general funds, generating revenue through licensing fees and fines. The Commission is governed by a board appointed by the Governor, comprising industry professionals and consumer representatives, ensuring diverse expertise in regulatory practices.
