Christmas Day (Observed)

* When the holiday falls on a Sunday it is observed on the following Monday.

> As soon as an MV-50 book is completed, it must be sent out. This is the only sure safeguard against running out of forms. Dealerships will occasionally hold onto completed MV-50 books, either because they don’t have time to put the forms in order or they want to save on shipment. This is a risky move, though, as the DMV won’t send the dealership a new book until they’ve received a completed one.

> Don’t forget GNYADA’s Billers Workshop coming up on April 6! This seminar trains dealership billers to process transactions as efficiently and effectively as possible. Call the GNYADA Education and Training team to register: 718.640.2012. > All motor vehicle work is to be sent to DMV within five calendar days — not five business days — of a temporary registration issuance. This is still the number one DMV violation!
