Why Dealer Documentation Matters
Wireless carriers and master agents require documentation to:
-
Verify your business identity.
-
Stay compliant with federal and carrier rules.
-
Authorize you as an official dealer.
-
Ensure commissions are accurate and paid on time.
If documentation is incomplete, onboarding gets delayed. Having everything ready means faster approval and a smoother launch.
Core Documents Every Dealer Needs
No matter the carrier, these are the most common requirements:
-
Business License – proves your business is legally registered.
-
Tax ID (EIN or TIN) – required for payments and reporting.
-
Banking Information – for direct deposit of commissions.
-
Reseller Certificate – required in some states for tax compliance.
-
Government ID – confirms the identity of the business owner.
Once these basics are covered, CTI provides additional forms to complete your onboarding.
