THE TOP 5 QUESTIONS ABOUT 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 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 current registration 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 apply for a new shared registration after receipt of the new plates. Transferring plates when a customer has changed the name on their driver’s 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; a temporary registration can be issued for only the number of days the customer has left on their 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.” 1: 2: 3: 4: 5:
