lnteleTravel.com is a fully licensed, registered and bonded agency.

Since deregulation (in 1985), the federal government has had no minimum requirements for the licensing, education or training of professional Travel Agents. Several states have considered and enacted consumer protection legislation regarding travel sellers. However, as of this writing, the only state with a travel seller registration requirement known to be applicable to Independent Travel Agents is Florida. Florida requires Independent Travel Agents residing or selling in Florida to complete and file a simple form with the Travel Seller Section of the state Division of Consumer Services. The toll-free number for obtaining the form is:(800) 435-7352.

As a rule, as long as you are not collecting money from the public and depositing it in a personal bank account, local or state travel seller laws are not likely to apply. However, to be sure you are in compliance with the independent contractor agreement you signed with InteleTravel.com, you should review local and state laws for any applicable requirements.

Some local jurisdictions may require you to obtain a business license for a nominal fee, which may be deductible as a business expense on your state and federal tax returns (consult your tax advisor).

Independent agents residing or selling in Florida are required to register and pay the $50 annually.
