16 New License Plate Style Announced

Procedures for receiving a plate order:

n Confirm the plate numbers on the flap of each box; if correct, accept the order in VERIFI. n DO NOT OPEN ANY BOX OF PLATES OR PACKAGES OF IN TRANSIT PERMITS UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THE SHIPMENT IN VERIFI AND ARE READY TO ISSUE THEM. n When you are ready to use the box of plates, open only that box and confirm that you received 25 complete sets of plates in the proper sequence. n You must make those 25 sets of plates available in VERIFI before you are able to begin issuing them. Contact DMV-DIRECT at 718.747.0400 if you have questions about the new plates.

Starting April 1, 2020, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing a new license plate style: the Excelsior plates. These new Excelsior plates will replace the Empire gold style plate which has been around since 2010. The Excelsior plates will automatically ship to dealers in late March. Dealers must continue to use and exhaust their existing supply of Empire Gold plates prior to opening boxes of new Excelsior plates.
