Yes. D.C. pawnbrokers must be licensed under the District's secondhand dealer and pawnbroker regulations, administered by the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection. PawnSmarts keeps your transaction records, OFAC checks and daily reporting in order, but obtaining and renewing the required license remains your responsibility.
D.C. pawnbrokers are required to submit records of purchased and received secondhand goods to the Metropolitan Police Department. PawnSmarts includes a LEADS Online export so you can fulfill that reporting obligation without re-entering data by hand.
D.C. regulations require pawnbrokers to hold acquired items for a specified period before resale to allow law enforcement to identify stolen property. PawnSmarts tracks each item's acquisition date and flags it when the hold period has cleared, keeping your floor inventory compliant.
