I received an email from the New York State DMV messages @nydmv.messagingchannel.com about an enhancement to the Electronic Reminder program. Is this real? 
Yes , it is. You received the email from mess[email protected] because you are in the DMV Electronic Reminders program. Please do not write to this email address. You will not receive a response. If you need to , see how to contact us [6]. 

How do I know if I can get reminders? 
To get registration renewal and inspection reminders , you must be the primary registrant first name listed on a registration, if the vehicle is registered to more than one person. You won t get reminders if your registration is not eligible to renew for example, you can t renew if the registration is suspended or revoked. 

Will the email address I use to sign up replace any other email addresses I previously provided the DMV? 
Yes. The DMV only keeps one email address for each customer. The email address you provide to sign up for electronic reminders will replace any other email address you provided us in the past.
