By Anna Butler


Department of Motor Vehicles or DMV are responsible for all legal requirements for vehicles including services in that place. This includes the administering of laws promoting safety and protecting consumers. They issue drivers with permits and licenses as well as their title and registration including license plates and other stuffs.

So when buying a vehicle, visiting their office is necessary in complying with all legal requirements. A sample of these things is a DMV registration NY that must complied the soonest possible time. Here are some essential information to know on this government agency in avoiding making mistakes and be in trouble with them.

Get a title whenever you purchase a vehicle either brand new or specially if it is not. If you have not received a title from the seller then you would not get a regular one from the department. The seller might not have it because they purchased the vehicle through loan and the lienholder might be holding it and will not release it until the loan is paid.

You must report any changes made to your address when you move to another place and the law gives you thirty days to do so. This would allow you to keep on receiving important notifications from DMV such as reminders for registration renewal and other notices. Failing to do so may make you miss these important notifications which can result into fines.

Release of liability must be filed when transferring the ownership of the vehicle or when selling it as required by the law. Any damages and injuries that the car would cause after leaving your possession would not have you liable. You do not have any liabilities too on parking tickets, storage, repair and towing charges.

Keep the license plates if you are selling the car unless the plate is the restricted one with black and white color which needs to stay. Having them removed would avoid law enforcement officers to assume that the vehicle is under your name still when pulled over. The plates can be placed on one you newly acquired so buying another is not necessary.

Provide proper identification cards during your visit in the DMV to register and it must show your legal name and identifying numbers. If a second owner appears on the document, their license and identification card numbers should be brought. If these numbers are not available, the social security number can be used instead.

You can request for a duplicate title if the original one has been lost, illegible or mutilated which makes it void. If the original one has been found then destroy it and continue using the duplicate. If the same things happen to the duplicate then you need to apply for another one as a replacement.

You have to make sure every submitted documents are signed properly by the parties involved. The signatures by one person should be consistent in all documents removing any doubts of its authenticity. When you need to let another person sign in your stead then a document authorizing them must be signed by you.
