                      Instructions for Requesting Verification that Customers 
                          are Authorized to Purchase for Resale

This document explains the procedures for verifying that customers of a business are authorized to purchase for resale.

Send a file containing the Certificate of Registration numbers of the customers to the Florida Department of Revenue. 
A written request may be forwarded to the Department or you may submit Form DR-600013, Request for Verification 
that Customers are Authorized to Purchase for Resale. If a written request is submitted, please provide the following 
information: date of request, name of the dealer’s business, return address, name and telephone number of a contact 
person.

Once the Department has received your file and request, we will then identify customers who are active registered 
dealers authorized to purchase for resale. The Department will return a file containing the Certificate of Registration 
numbers and vendor authorization numbers to a user contact at your place of business. Those customers for whom the 
vendor authorization number field is left blank are NOT authorized to make purchases for resale. Your user contact will 
also receive a letter summarizing the verification process. The file of customers that we return to your place of business 
will reside on the same medium sent to the Department.
