Where to Get MV-82s

Is your dealership running low on MV-82s? DMV-DIRECT can help – we always have a supply of MV-82s on hand for dealers. You may also contact DMV to order extra forms by: writing to DMV on dealership letterhead requesting the number of forms required (each package has 500 forms) include a contact name, the dealership address, and facility number fax the letter to the Supply Unit in Albany at 518.861.6711 n n n

The DMV has a list of codes that it accepts as car colors. So even though you’re selling Atomic Gold, it can only be listed as Gold in DMV registration paperwork. Please convert any manufacturer color names into the standard color closest to the actual of the vehicle. If the vehicle is two shades of the same color, use the predominant color.

We are pleased to inform you that there is no fee for these forms.

FS20: Double check the VIN and make sure the make and model are listed correctly. The registrant’s name must match his/her driver’s license exactly (be sure to include any middle initials or suffixes, such as Jr.). n n MSO or Title: Make sure you’re attaching the right MSO or Title with the paperwork (it’s easy to have a stack of papers in front of you and have things get mixed up). Lien Releases (mv901): You need an original signature on the form or an original letter of non-interest. For vehicles being registered and titled in New York State, a print- out from the DMV’s website showing that a lien has been elec- tronically released is acceptable. Finally, don’t cut driver’s licenses and registration down to size and don’t fold insurance cards in half. A simple staple in the upper left corner will keep everything neat and tidy. n n n

Avoid DMV rejections. DMV- DIRECT has one of the lowest rejection rates statewide. If, howev- er, you still prefer to process motor vehicle paperwork in your dealer- ship, avoid these common mistakes: Has everyone signed in the proper places? Is the inspection certificate number and date listed? Indicate the selling price (N/A is cause for rejection). Make sure the Lease Buy Out, Title Only, or the Odometer Disclosure Statement boxes are checked. MV-82: Temp date must be filled in. Did you list the driver’s license number? n n n n n n Registrant’s DOB and gender? Make sure the registrant signed the form and printed his/her name to the left. Fill in questions 1 to 3 in Section 6. The dealer must also sign. n n n n MV-50:
