Used EV Tax Credit

I purchased a qualified used Chevy Volt from a used car dealership earlier this month. I meet all of the tax credit requirements, as does the car. However,  the dealership was unaware of the new used tax credit. They did not give me the paperwork that the IRS says is required, and as far as I know have not (and might not) submit required paperwork to the IRS. Will I still be able to claim my credit if I never get the paperwork from them, and if they do not submit paperwork to the IRS?
