DO YOU KNOW THESE FORMS?

MV-74 (Certificate of Emission Compliance or Exemption) Dealers use this form to certify a vehicle’s compliance with emission standards. It can also signify that the vehicle is exempt from emissions compliance, if there is no statement on the MCO/MSO or if the vehicle is titled out-of-state. The MV-74 must be signed by the dealer and attached to the paperwork that is submitted to DMV for Registering/Titling. This form applies only to vehicles that have 7,500 or fewer miles and are model year 1996 or newer: • passenger vehicles or light trucks (GVWR of 6,000 lbs. or less, if from before the year 2000 — GVWR of 8,500 pounds or less, if newer) • medium-duty vehicles from 2004 or later (GVWR of 14,000 lbs. or less) • heavy-duty, otto-cycle, or diesel vehicles from 2005 or later (GVWR of 14,000 lbs. or less) This form is NOT available on the NYS DMV website, but it can be obtained fromDMV-DIRECT or aMotor Vehicle office.

DTF-820 ( Certificate of Nonresidency of New York State and/or Local Taxing Jurisdiction) This form requires customers conducting transactions in New York State to certify if they are exempt from local and state sales tax.

A New York State driver’s license with an expired temporary visitor status is worth ZERO points toward proof of identity and cannot be used as proof of date- of-birth. A customer with an expired status does have the option to bring their license to a Motor Vehicle office and produce documents showing that their immigration status is being worked on, and have their license updated to reflect this. At that time, they will be given a new interim license with an updated visitor’s status. A copy of the interim TEMPORARY VISITOR STATUS MUST BE CURRENT

license, along with a copy of the original driver license — provided the Client ID numbers match — would be acceptable as the full six points of ID. An interim driver’s license cannot be used a proof of date-of-birth. Reminder: The IDNYC Card is worth zero points and cannot be used as proof of date-of-birth.
