Can you walk me through the procedure for requesting new plates?
================
Of course. You may request a new set of plates at a DMV office, provided you have all required documents with you.
Has your plate been lost or destroyed?
Yes, my plate has been destroyed in an accident.
In that case you will need to pay for the new plates, and a fee of $ 3.75 to issue a new registration. The fee for plates are $ 25 for a set of 2 plates.
================
I see. And what if both of my plates have been stolen?
Then you need to notify the police, and ask the police to complete a police report. Bring the police report to a DMV office to surrender the vehicle registration.
================
Alright, back to registering a new plate. Which documents do I need to bring along?
One of the documents you'll need is a completed Vehicle Registration / Title Application (MV-82).
Can I print out a list of all documents I need somehow?
Yes, our website lets you print out a checklist.
================
Will do. So, what actions should I take if my vehicle is stolen?
Your insurance company will: 1) give you 2 barcoded original NY State Insurance ID cards or provide you with access to your digital electronic NY State Insurance ID Card 2) send an electronic notice of insurance coverage to the DMV (your insurance agent or broker cannot file this notice) Your NY State Insurance ID cards and the electronic notice together verify your coverage. We need both. You can find more information about stolen and recovered vehicles on our website.
