THE 5 TOP QUESTIONS ON REVISING REGISTRATIONS

Knowing how to mark MV-82 forms when updating a customer’s registration information can be complicated and confusing. Here are the five most common registration-changes we receive questions about, and the correct processes for handling them. Transferring registration in two names to registration in one name Go to section #5 of the MV-82. On the first line, print what the registration currently reads. Then, on the second line, under “changes,”write: “Drop [name].”

Adding a name to an existing registration The New York State DMV does not allow this. To register a second name on an existing vehicle, one must apply for new plates and then apply for a new shared registration with those.

3:

Transferring plates when a customer has changed the name on their drivers’ license, but not their registration

A customer can still transfer the plate in this case. In section #2 of the MV-82, check the “yes”box on the section that reads “Name Change?”Then go to section #5 — on the first line, under “changes”, write the name currently on the registration, then on the next line, write: “Amend registration to match new name on driver’s license.” Transferring plates when a registration is about to expire A registration can be transferred and renewed at the same time; however, a temporary registration can only be issued for the number of days the customer has left on his/her current registration. (For example, if the customer only has 15 days left on their current registration, a 45-day temporary registration can’t be issued.) Also, remember to mark the “Renew a Registration” box and the “Transfer a Plate Number”box on section #1 of the MV-82. Registering a vehicle to a P.O. Box, instead of a physical home address After noting the P.O. Box in section #2 of the MV-82 (“Address where primary registrant receives mail”), enter the customer’s residential street address in the line that reads, “Address where primary registrant resides, if different from mailing address.”
