The Pennsylvania Automotive Association (PAA) and PennDOT have encountered dealerships who are completing and submitting contract renewal applications before the contract is due for renewal. PennDOT will not process 10-year renewals submitted before contract renewal is due.

To determine when your contract will be up for 10-year renewal, in the DAS system, add ten years to the “Contract Executed Date” or you can find this information on your paper contract.

Do not use the expiration date listed in the DAS System as an indicator to complete the 10-year renewal. The field marked “Expiration Date” in PennDOT’s system will roll over to the next year automatically. Again, to determine this date add 10 years to the “Contract Executed Date” listed in the DAS system.

PennDOT will email 10-year renewal notices, titled “Full Agent Services For Existing Agents Contract Applications.”
These are being received by current PennDOT agents whose original executed contract was ten years ago.

The email is being sent to the primary person listed in PennDOT’s DAS system. It is recommended that dealers who
receive notice from PennDOT begin working to assemble the necessary information immediately.

Accessing DAS
Dealers can access the DAS System or register to access it at https://dealers.penndot.pa.gov/ For assistance dealers
can call 717-783-1062 or contact [email protected].

Contract Assistance from PAA
PAA’s assistance is also being offered as a benefit of membership to track your expiration, contact you at time of renewal, and review your submission.

All PAA Members are encouraged to determine your expiration date and submit to PAA, if you haven’t already. PAA’s Contract Approval Program assists dealers in handling all of the requirements for the application and contract, including reviewing all application information and delivering the completed application and supporting documents to
PennDOT.

If you have not already done so, PAA recommends sending information to Ian Wallace at PAA at [email protected] who will review for completion and coordinate submission with PennDOT.

Contract Requirements
The application for 10-year renewal includes many of the items that were required when initially applying, and PennDOT has advised that it could take up to 2 months for renewal approval once submitted. PennDOT has created a form for submitting “Full Agent Services For Existing Agents Contract Applications.” The form is also available online at: https://apps.paa.org/files/fillableagent.pdf
